February is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM), a time to reflect on what it means to build a community where everyone belongs.
At the Bender JCC, inclusion is an ongoing commitment that continues to grow and evolve across our programs, spaces, and experiences. This special edition highlights the people, stories, and efforts shaping that work every day.
We begin with reflections from our CEO, Josh Bender, who grounds this moment in our history and values and invites us to continue strengthening a culture of belonging for individuals of all abilities.
As we mark JDAIM, we invite you to read, reflect, and engage with these stories as part of our shared commitment to inclusion.
