Jews may be the “chosen people,” but when it comes to Jewish education, adults with disabilities have often been left out.
Coinciding with Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month, the Marcus JCC of Atlanta’s Lisa F. Brill Institute for Jewish Learning offers inclusive education classes through the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning virtually via Zoom.
The second series of “Members of the Tribe” classes is now underway, with more than double the number of students participating. Rabbi Steven Rau of Atlanta’s The Temple taught the first class, and instructor Devorah Lowenstein of Atlanta Education Associates leads the second.
