JDCC Goals:
We would like to be able to host a Community Seder at a very low nominal charge. As we are accustomed to being invited over to families or friends for Seders. We would like to be able to sponsor a Seder, and have it open to all interested Jewish deaf participants.
HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES AND DAY CARE
To provide religious services that are accessible and meets
the needs of deaf and hard of hearing persons. Offering day care at no charge would enable
deaf parents to participate during services without having to leave their children at home
and miss such opportunities.
MONTHLY LECTURES
To provide deaf persons with access to lectures, workshops,
and retreat programs related to Judaism through use of sign language interpreters. Funding
is needed for each lecture, minimum of 2 hours cost $70.00 per lecture. We would like to
make the lectures free of charge to attract more people.
MONTHLY JDCC NEWSLETTER
Continue and expand this publication providing relevant
information to the deaf and hard of hearing persons such as programs where an interpreter
will be provided, or having activities in sign language.
