Today marks the first day of February and the official start of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month. JDAIM is designed to be a unified initiative to raise disability awareness and support efforts to foster inclusion in Jewish communities worldwide.
The true value of this month lies in
raising the awareness that there is so much more we can and should
be doing to include those with disabilities in our Jewish communities.
I will do my best to blog often during the month of February in honor of JDAIM. I hope you will add your voice.
I encourage you to tweet me and tag Removing the Stumbling Block on Facebook so that
I can share your content.
As a Jewish Educator and Inclusion Expert I
realize that the vague nature of “join me in blogging” could be overwhelming
for some. You are free to blog on anything that relates to
disability, accessibility, inclusion, etc. And if writing is “not your thing”,
share a photo or artwork or a quote or a video. Honor your own expressive style
and do what is most comfortable and most accessible for you.
