Shalom. Respectability.org has published a special High Holiday Guide for Inclusion. Shelly Christensen, who has written for us and did a podcast on her work with the disability community, has made us aware of this resource. The guide “takes you through communicating high holiday information, providing ASL interpreters and live captioning, planning accommodations doe in-person and virtual services, Tashlich, Sukkah visits and everything in between.” This guide has been provided by the Faith Inclusion and Belonging Team at Respectability. To learn more about this organization and how it may be of benefit to your congregation or organization go to respectability.org
