Our 2026 Stand Up for Inclusion Benefit with international comedian יוחאי ספונדר Yohay Sponder was unforgettable!

Hundreds from our Sulam community joined us to laugh for a cause and help us reach our fundraising goal for the Schram Family Scholarship Fund.

We were inspired by Yohay’s incredible performance and by student speaker Nili Goldberg, who shared her powerful Sulam journey and reminded us why this work matters.

Thank you for making the evening so meaningful.

Our Executive Director, Lianne Heller, was featured in the DEEP Consortium's Spring 2026 e-journal! 🌟

Her piece, "The Moral Imperative of Belonging: Including Neurodiverse Students in Jewish Day Schools," reflects on her experience at the Together We Thrive conference in March and the urgent questions facing Jewish education:

💡As the population of day school students seems to grow more diverse, how must schools evolve so they can welcome an even wider range of learners?

💡What systems, mindsets, and structures must change so that even more Jewish children can remain in Jewish education?

Belonging isn't just "nice to have" — research shows it's as fundamental as food, shelter, and safety. It's exactly what we strive to create every day. 💙

Jewish text and belief indicates that every person is equal to an entire world. The Tanakh, specifically Mishlei, says to “educate each child according to their way.”
