On Sunday, September 26th, eight members of the Jewish Disabilities Network and five students from the Voices for Inclusion club gathered at the Denver Jewish Day School (formerly Herzl/RMHA) for a Sukkot celebration. They recited the blessing over the lulav and etrog, decorated the Sukkah, and played soccer and Jewish holiday bingo.
Everyone had a great time! Below are some quotes from members of Voices for Inclusion:
“This gathering of people of all ages from throughout the community combined holiday spirit, chesed, and fun for everyone. I can think of no better way to enjoy the holiday of Sukkot.”
-Doniel Kaye
“This program was a great example of inclusion in the Jewish community. Every person is of equal value and every voice needs to be heard. This program showed that the students of Denver JDS, through the Chesed Club, are ready to work for this goal of inclusion.”
-Anonymous
“This was a great thing to do over Sukkot and the High Holidays. Being with these special people makes me feel like I did an amazing thing. It also makes me amazed to see what some people in our community do every day and spend all their heart, time, and energy on."
