This event, which will be captioned, will have voice interpreters for those who are not fluent in ASL.

If your group is interested in hosting an ASL Shabbat service in the coming months, please get in touch with us at aslshabbatcoalition@gmail.com. 

Special thanks go to Caption Anywhere for their captioning and video editing services.

The ASL Shabbat Gatherings are made possible through a collaborative effort of three organizations that comprise the ASL Shabbat Coalition (ASC): Hillel at Gallaudet (Janie Golightly, representative), Jewish Deaf Congress (Roxanne Baker, representative), and the Jewish Deaf Resource Center (Susan F. Cohen, representative). Volunteers who support the work of the ASL Shabbat Coalition include Staci Blumenfeld, Hillel Goldberg, Toby Silver, and Chris Wagner.

Hillel @ Gallaudet promotes inclusive Jewish educational, religious, social, cultural, and communal activities at Gallaudet University by creating opportunities for diverse expressions of Jewish life among students.

Jewish Deaf Congress (JDC) is an inclusive and accessible Jewish Deaf national organization, network and resource center, rooted in Judaism and Deaf experiences, cultures and values of lifelong Jewish learning to discover, connect and flourish.

The Jewish Deaf Resource Center (JDRC) is a 501(c)3 national non-profit organization that builds communication access bridges through an alliance of Jewish Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and the individuals and organizations in the wider Jewish community. We aim to do this through advocacy, sharing communication access solutions, collaborating on educational opportunities, providing guidance on inclusive public policy and practices, forming partnerships, sharing resources, and presenting training sessions.

The Jewish Deaf Resource Center thanks UJA Federation of New York for partnering with JDRC through their operating grant.
