Join Jewish National Fund-USA as we recognize Jewish Disabilities Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month (JDAAIM) with an inside look at how donors like you ensure people with disabilities and special needs are integrated into all aspects of daily life and tightly woven into the fabric of Israeli culture.

 

See your impact first-hand as we explore the wondrous work of our affiliates on the ground in Israel and delve into the lives of people who benefit from our support:

  • Those integrated into the IDF thanks to Special in Uniform
  • Those who reach their potential at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran
  • Those who blossom thanks to therapeutic horseback riding
    at Red Mountain Therapeutic Riding Center
  • Those who enjoy nature and culture because of the work of LOTEM
