Sensitivity Training at Chaviva High School
In partnership with the Organization of Autism Research, Yachad Cleveland presented a two-part sensitivity training for the freshman class at Chaviva High School.
Through interactive, hands-on, and multimedia exercises, students experienced simulations designed to help them better understand neurodivergence and disability. The training also created space for thoughtful dialogue about the importance of inclusion in our classrooms and communities, emphasizing culture and attitude change and encouraging students to see themselves as advocates for others.
Thank you to Chaviva High School for having us!
If you, your school, your synagogue or other type of group would want this training, please reach out to Sara to schedule!

Israel B’Yachad
During these trying times, there are a number of initiatives we are starting for our Yachad members and in support of Yachad Israel chapter:
The OU has a letter writing campaign for IDF soldiers, there is a tehillim list circulating for Yachad friends and family that need our tefillot (Should anyone want to add names its yachad.org/tehillim), a Pizza 4 Soldiers program starting (stay tuned for more details), and more robust virtual programs to help our Yachad Israel friends cope and maintain some normalcy.
We encourage you to participate and attend as many of these programs as possible.
