Historically, people with #disabilities have been regarded in light of visible impairments such as physical, communication and sensory disorders. Yet people can have #disabilities that are not visible, including #autism, learning disabilities, executive functioning disorders, more. Regardless of whether a disability is apparent or not we should try to meet people's needs to that all #Jews can participate in our #synagogues and #Hebrewschools.

How can we address special education needs in our Hebrew schools?

“A human being mints many coins from the same mold, and they are all identical. But the Holy One, Praised be He, strikes us all from the mold of the first human yet each is unique.”

– Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5

and also from modern day rabbis who are knowledgeable about historical, archaeological, and comparative textual studies.
