🌍❤️♿️ Today, December 3, we mark the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 (#IDPWD). When we see someone using a wheelchair, a guide dog or a prosthetic limb, we tend to focus on their differences and disabilities, rather than our shared social identity, abilities, aspirations or dreams. 𝗔𝘁 𝗔𝗗𝗜, 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗬, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡. Every person is deserving of dignity, respect and the opportunities to reach their greatest potentials, and it is our responsibility as a society to find the ability in every disability. In doing so, we will help humanity take a huge leap forward. Don't let the day pass without making a statement (in your own way) about your solidarity with the disability community and the need for true inclusion, equity, and access in every community around the world. ♿️❤️🌍

💜 The Harvey and Gloria Kaylie Rehabilitation Medical Center at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran is illuminated in purple ahead of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3, which promotes disability awareness and spotlights the need for disability inclusion, equity and access. Hundreds of buildings across the country will turn purple as part of the national campaign organized by Mifal HaPais (the national lottery of Israel) and the Federation of Local Authorities in Israel. We are truly a light unto the nations! 💜

❤️🌱♿ PLANTING SEEDS OF UNDERSTANDING: Ear

❤️🌱♿ PLANTING SEEDS OF UNDERSTANDING: Earlier this month, ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran opened Israel’s first Integrative Agricultural School, an initiative that aims to teach grade school students about farming, agriculture and ecology while exposing them to people with disabilities and highlighting the importance of disability inclusion. Throughout the program, students from across the Negev region will learn crucial farming skills from ADI’s highly-skilled team of special needs gardeners, spend time with the village residents and special education students to gain a better understanding of how to interact with people with disabilities, and tackle hands-on projects that will extol the virtues of communication, active listening, teamwork, acceptance and open-mindedness.

“The decision to open the Integrative Agricultural School stemmed from a very real need for Israeli students to meet people with disabilities, and to take an active part in accepting those different than themselves,” explained Avi Wortzman, CEO of ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran. “After just a few weeks, we can already see the special relationships developing between the students participating in the program and our residents with severe disabilities. I applaud all of the schools taking part in this program. This is a giant step towards truly healing the world.”

🐾 🍂 🍁 Enjoying nature with your family and friends this fall? ♿️ We are, too! Thanks to Lotem, a fellow JNF-USA affiliate organization, residents from ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran enjoyed a beautiful nature hike around Yeruham Lake. Their guides led the ADI group along beautiful, accessible paths so that all of our residents could enjoy the special excursion.

We are so grateful to Lotem for their partnership and for everything they do to ensure that ALL Israelis have regular and easy access to hikes and educational nature activities. EVERYONE deserves opportunities to connect with nature!

🕯 The ADI family shares in the sorrow of Major

🕯 The ADI family shares in the sorrow of Major General (Res.) Doron Almog, Founder & Chairman of the ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran Rehabilitation Village, and his dear family as they mourn the passing of their matriarch, Mrs. Bat Ami (Tami) Avrutsky a”h.

Born in Israel in 1929, Tami bravely fought in the Palmach and was imprisoned by the British in 1945. During Israel’s War of Independence, Tami served in the IDF’s “Givati” Infantry Brigade. Ever since losing her son, Eran, in the Yom Kippur War, Tami became active in Yad Labanim, an organization that commemorates the memory of Israel's fallen soldiers, and served as the chair of the organization’s Rishon Lezion branch for nearly 40 years. Tami and her late husband, Matti, who passed in 2007, were the proud parents of four sons: Doron, Eran z”l, Modi and Rotem.

This past spring, Tami was delighted to take part in the opening of the Harvey and Gloria Kaylie Rehabilitation Medical Center at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, the first-ever rehabilitation hospital in the Negev. Tami believed in the State of Israel and the settlement of the Negev region with all her heart, and she transferred this passion to her son, Doron, who works diligently to make the Negev bloom and build a stronger and more accepting Israel.

@doronalmog – May you and your family know no more sadness, and may you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

🙌 CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF ‘ADI BECHINUCH’! 💚 Year after year, the exceptional faculty and administration at David Posnack Jewish Day School are always so excited about our 'ADI Bechinuch' disability inclusion programming that they ask ADI's North American Director of Development Elie Klein to make multiple presentations at both of the Posnack campuses in Davie and Hallandale Beach, Florida. (This year, he gave 6 presentations!) From 3rd grade to 8th, the students loved hearing stories about finding the ability within the disability, learned a lot from the disability simulations and were thrilled to hear about ADI’s ‘Make the Change Challenge,’ our STEM accessible design contest held in February to mark ‘Jewish Disability Awareness Acceptance and Inclusion Month’ (JDAIM). They were also so excited to make multisensory Chanukah cards for the ADI residents and special education students that they immediately dove head first into the task.

🕎🤩 Thanks to our incredible ADI Bechinuch partner schools, our ADI family is going to have the best Chanukah ever, and our world is going to become a little kinder and more accepting. 🌍❤️
