Matan has been working on disability and inclusion in the Jewish community by sharing resources and training educators. Their collection of lessons for JDAIM are grouped by grade, with age-appropriate big ideas, objectives, and handouts. Each lesson also includes accessibility notes– it's important to keep these considerations in mind when planning programming, and JDAIM is a good time to take on the practice if you haven't yet already done so.

Tikun Olam J Life
Service Learning Model: J-Life

One of the successes of J-Life is that it continues to build community among parents. Most of the learners who started in kindergarten have stayed to continue going on to the upper grades. Parents express that they have a lot of fun participating in J-Life and that they enjoy coming to these experiences.
