Disability Services

Our vision is a community that is made whole through all of its members having meaningful opportunities for access to every aspect of Jewish life.

We are dedicated to raising awareness and promoting inclusive practices for individuals with disabilities and their families. Our vision is a community in which all members have opportunities to meaningfully participate in all aspects of Jewish life.

At Greater MetroWest ABLE (Access, Belonging & Life Enrichment for People with Disabilities and Their Families), we support and collaborate with agencies, synagogues, schools, and camps to create meaningful opportunities where each individual can thrive. Through advocacy, education, and partnership, we strive to break down barriers and empower individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives.

Whether you’re seeking resources, support, or simply looking to connect with like-minded individuals, our group provides a welcoming space for sharing information, experiences, and insights. Join us in our vision to create a more inclusive community where every individual is valued and celebrated.

This Passover focus on your mental health

Passover is a time to focus on our collective story, and is also a time for us to explore our own personal stories. During the seder we say, “Dayenu,” “it would have been enough.” We sing songs to express gratitude for all that G-d provided for us as we escaped Egypt. Expressing gratitude for the things in our daily lives is good for our own emotional well-being. As you sing Dayenu this year, think about gratitude for the past and things you are grateful for today.
