Adult Education Series: Diversity and Inclusion, Ethics and Applications: A Conversation with Yishai Barth

The Adult Education Committee, chaired by Judith Heilizer, invites the community to conversations on Jewish perspectives concerning diversity and inclusion. The committee hopes that these conversations will help the congregation address deeper ethical issues that diversity and inclusivity pose.

Yishai is a 21 year old Junior at UMass Amherst Honors College. He is an advocate and activist for people with disabilities. He has Cerebral Palsy and Sensory Integration Disorder and has done significant work in helping teens with disabilities advocate for themselves.
