Support Lois' Shavuot learn-a-thon

This Shavuot, in the spirit of Shavuot's study tradition, I will be dedicating study time to support people with special needs at 'SHEKEL – Inclusion for People with Disabilities'. I am reaching out to ask you to sponsor my Shavuot study with a donation to help people with disabilities during this difficult time. SHEKEL is a wonderful Israeli organization that I have been closely involved with for several years. It gives thousands of children and adults with disabilities, from all ethnic and religious backgrounds, the chance to work, live and develop their skills as vital inclusive members of the general community. During the coronavirus crises people with disabilities are especially vulnerable and their wellbeing has now become an urgent priority. All donations from my Shavuot studying will go to purchasing critical medical and protective equipment and to operating vital support programs and activities that are crucial to the wellbeing of people with disabilities.
