In this special Dvar Torah and dialogue (recorded at Temple Beth-El’s Shabbat service on February 19, 2022), two TBE members discuss the theory and the practice of creating a Jewish community where everyone is included and has equal access. As you listen to the conversation, we invite you to reflect on the following questions: (1) What is one thing you wish our community understood about people with disabilities and special health care needs? (2) What is your wish for your children’s/the Jewish community’s future as it relates to disabilities? Feel free to send your thoughts to rabbi.knopf@bethelrichmond.org. Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world. TBE Richmond Podcast is produced by Benjamin DaCosta-Kaufman. Our theme music is composed and produced by Stephen Frost.
