We support community members with diverse abilities through our partnership with ETTA, which offers CONNECTIONS, a year-round calendar of enriching activities such as Jewish culture classes, festive holiday celebrations, and hands-on experiences like gardening, cooking, and exercise. Led by experienced staff, instructors, and rabbis, CONNECTIONS creates opportunities for learning, growth, and community, with volunteers passionate about creating a vibrant social atmosphere.
