Expanded schedule of special needs services slated at area synagogues for coming year
Years ago, when Elaine Blau took her young family to Shabbat services, she would spend most of her time in the lobby outside the sanctuary entertaining her daughter Ariel, who has intellectual disabilities.
“Socialization was an issue,” explained Blau, of Mount Laurel. “The crowds would be too big for her and she just couldn’t sit that long.”
Decades later, Ariel, 33, has shown a renewed interest in Judaism. And, thanks to a strong partnership among local synagogues, the Blaus no longer need worry about disturbing fellow worshipers. There are numerous services specifically catering to kids and adults with special needs spread across the Jewish calendar year, covering every major holiday, Shabbat and festivals.

View Two Phenomenal Films at the March of Remembrance!
The Raab/Goodwin Center has chosen to showcase the two films as part of its annual March to demonstrate to the community the positive impact that Holocaust education programs are having on local students. Kellman Brown Academy students took part in creating a film in conjunction with Better Together: Names, Not Numbers and interviewed four local Holocaust Survivors. The Names, Not Numbers program is a Holocaust documentary film project that is offered to schools across the United States, Canada, and Israel. Through this film, the students ensured the Survivors’ families stories are forever remembered. Additionally, Rosa International Middle School students created a documentary about Josiah DuBois, a righteous rescuer who worked as an attorney for the Treasury Department during WWII. DuBois helped create the War Refugee Board to rescue 200,000 Jewish refugees in Europe in 1944. His selflessness and perseverance inspired the students to learn more and create a film for the National History Day competition, which won 2nd place in the country.
