JDAIM Special Presentation with Alan T. Brown

Every February, Jewish communities worldwide join to advocate for inclusion of people with disabilities and mental health conditions to be accepted and included in all aspects of Jewish life like anyone else. Please join us this Shabbat, February 16 at 10:45 am, for a very special presentation from Mr. Alan T. Brown. Please bring your family and friends as we make a special welcome to all people with disabilities.

Beit David Highland Lakes Shul 2600 NE 209th Street Miami, FL. 33180

Alan T. Brown was injured in 1988, at the age of 20, when his neck was crushed. The accident left Alan, a hockey player, a quadriplegic. For nearly 31 years since the accident, Alan and his family have, through the Alan T Brown Foundation to Cure Paralysis, provided support, education, and advocacy for the paralysis community. Alan is Director of Public Impact at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. He also has achieved many personal goals, including completing three New York City Marathons, skydiving, and scuba diving. His proudest accomplishment is becoming a father to his two young sons.

We hope to see you there!
