February is Jewish Disabilities Awareness month and we are proud to host Lauren Tuchman.
Lauren is completing rabbinical school at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where she serves as a chaplain at the New Jewish Home and previously served as the rabbinic intern at T’ruah: the Rabbinic Call for Human Rights. She has taught widely on the intersection between Judaism and Disability at numerous synagogues and organizations throughout North America, including the National Havurah Committee, Jewish Theological Seminary, Join for Justice, the Ruderman Foundation’s Synagogue Inclusion Initiative, Oceanside Jewish Center and Adas Israel Congregation. Lauren has been published widely including in Jewschool and RitualWell. She was named to the Jewish Week’s 36 under 36 in 2017.
Join us for a Congregational Shabbat dinner on Friday night and spend Shabbat with our special guest.
