Celebrating JDAIM’s 15th Anniversary

Twenty-seven percent of Americans have a disability of some kind and Federation's Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance (MJAA) is bringing issues of equal access to the forefront during Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM). Each February for the past 15 years, JDAIM has provided a forum for the Jewish community to advocate for people with disabilities and their families and to offer opportunities for them to participate fully in Jewish communal life. This month, a number of local and national JDAIM events, both online and in person, are available to all who wish to join. Click here to review a list compiled by MJAA. Federation is proud to help Miami’s organizations raise awareness, remove barriers and celebrate diversity, both during JDAIM and throughout the year. MJAA also maintains a user-friendly website, miami.jewishabilities.org, with connections to helpful services, support and resources.
