Disability Justice Seder

Embodying the value of freedom that we celebrate each Pesach, we seek to create a community seder that is open, accessible, and welcoming to all. This inclusive, community-wide event will feature a custom Haggadah, traditional Jewish music, and a warm, engaging atmosphere. Accessibility accommodations include wheelchair access, visual aids, ASL interpretation, quiet spaces, and a virtual attendance option for those who cannot join in-person. In partnership with Repair the World and Ohr HaOlam, JFS Jewish Disabilities Advocates (JDA) will host the event at Temple Emanuel.
