Yozima
Yozma is an inclusion track of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism's Nativ gap program in Israel (between high school and college) for young adults with cognitive and social challenges. Through a 2016 Breakthrough Grant from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, a Yozma track was added last year to the USY Summer Pilgrimage trip for Chicago area teens going into 10-12th grades. Similar to Yozma Nativ, this trip will provide a safe, inclusive and educational program with specially trained staff so that this underserved population can, like their peers, enjoy a fully immersive 4 week summer program in Israel. For more information on either program or contact Stephanie Smerling at

Moriah has a loop system available for individuals using hearing aids, to improve communication access for our members and guests with hearing loss. To access this system, tell your audiologist or hearing instrument specialist that your synagogue is "looped" and ask if there is a t-coil in your hearing aid(s). Then make an appointment to have it activated. If your hearing aids do not have a t-coil, talk with him/her about alternate ways of accessing the loop.
