A Note from Loni and Rabbi Ami Hersh
We feel blessed to be a part of this caring community - a group of special people who celebrate the joys of life together and provide support during the challenging times. Ami's grandfather, Ab Ehrenhaus z"l, lived a full and wonderful life. He is missed by our entire family. Thank you to everyone in this loving and supportive community for making donations in his memory and providing us comfort during our time of loss.

Read Rabbi Drill's post to the OJC Rabbis' Blog: #JDAIM2021
A Year of Lessons in One Month
Carmel Louis flipped himself from his back to his stomach three times in a row one morning. We fawning adults applauded wildly, so proud of his new feat. What an accomplishment, what prowess, what a genius at 4 1/2 months! Yes, we celebrated his ability. Not one of us questioned why he was not getting up onto all fours to crawl once he was on his stomach. No, we were proud and content with what he accomplished.

A NOTE FROM JAWONIO TO OJC
In Pirkei Avot 2:5 we are taught “Do not separate yourself from the community.”
Since March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic turned this teaching upside down and inside out throughout the disability community. Closer to home at Jawonio, more than 120 individuals as well as our staff and clinicians experienced unbearable sadness and
loss.
