Erev Shabbat & Community Dinner Honoring JDAIM

February 6, 2026 6:30 pm

With Rabbi Darby & Nancy Kaplan
RSVP HERE by February 3, our catering deadline, to attend the Community Dinner

Kerem Shalom, please join us for a meaningful and celebratory opportunity to help us kick off JDAIM (Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month) with a Friday night Shabbat Community Dinner, where good food, warm community, and thoughtful conversation come together.

We’ll begin with a delicious and lovely Shabbat dinner, creating space to connect, celebrate, and honor JDAIM. Following dinner, Rabbi Darby will share reflections from two recently published books to which he contributed chapters—one published in 2020 on exploring Religion and Deaf Identity, and the other coming out on February 4, which is focused on supporting Deaf students on their journey toward B’nai Mitzvah. This promises to be an engaging and illuminating conversation about access, inclusion, and the richness Deaf voices bring to Jewish life.

Come for the meal, stay for the insight, and leave inspired by the power of our inclusive community!
