Disability Learning: Disability Justice & Allyship
Disability Learning Weekend
What is disability justice? What does it mean to enact disability justice as a communal value? How can FTJC members ally effectively with each other around this issue?
Please join us as we come together this coming weekend to learn and discuss as a community. During Shabbat morning services on Dec 7, we’ll be hearing a Devar Torah on the topic and have sign language interpreters.
On Sunday Dec 8, we will learn with renowned religious scholar and disability activist Rabbi Julia Watts Belser.
Schedule (note revisions from previous advertised schedule!):
2:00-3:15pm - disability justice and allyship workshop with Jess Belasco and Ana Rubinstein
3:30-4:30pm - text-based learning and discussion with Julia Watts Belser
