In partnership with the wider Jewish community, JDRC's leadership, comprised of Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and hearing individuals, advocates to increase communication access to services, rituals, learning and other Jewish communal experiences. Through our efforts, we build a richer and meaningful Jewish communal life for everyone.

The Gathering will be hosted by the Jewish Deaf Resource Center. This special service will be led by Deaf and hard of hearing participants currently enrolled in the "Between the Lines: From Text to Life" course, offered by Melton School for Adult Jewish Learning in partnership with the Jewish Deaf Resource Center.
