Please join Judea Reform for our annual

Inclusion Shabbat Service

February 5th, 2021 at 6pm.

While we embrace Inclusion all year round, we join with the Reform Movement in marking the February celebration of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month (learn more here: JDAAIM).

This year, we will take a moment to honor lay leaders Iris Weiss and Cora Harrison for their visionary and foundational leadership in creating our culture and practice of inclusion at Judea Reform Congregation. We will recognize all the many ways Inclusion work has been integrated into the very fabric of our community—from livestreaming (brought to Judea Reform by the Daniel Weiss Fund) to easy access for the High Holy Days to large print prayer books and listening devices for weekly Shabbat worship, and much more. We will be embraced by Ila Berkley’s sign interpretation of Olam Chesed Yibaneh and will see the joy in our 3rd & 4th graders signing the Shema.

With JDAAIM, Judea Reform proudly advances the two pillars of an inclusive community: the spirit of belonging and the structure of inclusion. Belonging is something we all want in our lives; inclusion focuses on what our organizations can do to foster that sense of belonging.
