New Report: Closing the Inclusion Gap
Matan’s new report, Closing the Inclusion Gap: A Report on Disability and Belonging in Jewish Life, shows that while goodwill is strong across the Jewish community, inclusion remains inconsistent and often dependent on individuals rather than systems. With national disability protections weakening, the Jewish community has both the opportunity and the responsibility to lead.
