5787 Inclusion Check-In #1: Can everyone enter & participate?

Inclusion starts with access - but access can look different for different people. As we prepare for the year ahead, take a look at your spaces, seating, transportation and opportunities to participate.

What might make it easier for more people to be part of your community?

09/03/2026

As we prepare to welcome 5787, we’re taking a few days to pause and think about the communities we want to create in the year ahead.

Over the next five days, we’ll share one simple inclusion check-in each day. Small questions can lead to meaningful changes to help us build Jewish communities where everyone can participate and belong.

Follow along with our 5787 Inclusion Check-In!
