(3/3)
As Disability Pride Month comes to a close and Tu b’Av draws near, we present the community with a Disabilities Inclusion Torah Reader. The need to create religious communities that are fully embracing and empowering of all members is a matter of high priority for us at YCT (1/3)
and lies at the heart of what the traditional circle-dance celebration of Tu b’Av represents: a community in which pains are taken to make sure that no one feels lesser or marginalized, a community in which everyone is included and everyone has equal access. (2/3)
