February Is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month

Federation's Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance (MJAA) is bringing issues of equal access to the forefront throughout February — Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM). JDAIM provides 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 variety of local and national JDAIM events are available to all who wish to join. Click here to review a list compiled by MJAA. Federation is proud to help Miami organizations raise awareness, remove barriers and celebrate diversity throughout the year. MJAA’s website, Miami.JewishAbilities.org, also offers connections to helpful services, resources and a disability specialist.
