To develop and strengthen Jewish identity among deaf and hard of hearing Jews and to build a strong community connected to and proud of its Jewish roots.
We want to make Judaism alive, accessible, fascinating, valuable to our community. Methods include engaging deaf and hard of hearing Jews in active, direct participation in Jewish practices and experience and enabling access to the beauty of our rich Jewish heritage and leadership development. Our Executive Director, Rabbi Yehoshua Soudakoff, is one of only four deaf rabbis in the world and sets a personal example of Jewish deaf leadership.
