Jewish LearningWorks believes that all children deserve to be welcomed, included and embraced by the Jewish community regardless of individual needs or learning style.
After nearly a decade of supporting the community through the Include Initiative, Dr. David Neufeld has moved on to a new role. This summer we welcome Liora Brosbe, our new Senior Educator, who will continue to facilitate special needs support through our network of trained professionals throughout the Bay Area. To learn more about how to receive support we invite you to explore our new resource guide and to contact her: liora@jewishlearning.works.
Your gentle and deep teaching has helped me grow so much in my understanding of neurodiversity. Your teaching has changed the way I think about Jewish education.
