On disabled Jews

Today, some 54 million Americans -- one in five individuals -- have a disability. As a result, many of these people are prevented from worshiping within their religious community. For too many, the gates of prayer are closed due to structural, communicational, and attitudinal barriers. Obstacles to worship that alienate people with disabilities must be eliminated.
Accessible congregations promote acceptance and full participation of congregants with disabilities in all aspects of religious life. Installing ramps, increasing the number of accessible parking spaces, providing sign language interpreters and enlarging print materials are only some of the steps congregations must take to involve and include members with disabilities.
