As a sibling to a brother with a disability and a Keshet participant, I am a witness to the transformative power of Keshet, an impact that has profoundly touched my family and me. Now as a member of the Leadership Council, I get to experience what being part of Keshet’s community not only looks like, but feels like, too.

Keshet not only provides great opportunities for people with disabilities, but it affords students like me the opportunity to give back, practice patience and create beautiful music together. I feel so fortunate that Keshet provided me this opportunity to work with the participants to teach them to sing with 16 Candles tonight.
We are more than just a support system; we are a family that helps each other reach new heights, overcome challenges, and chase our dreams. Thank you for being here tonight for Keshet. Let us be reminded that we are here together, not just for an evening but for a lifetime.
In the ever-evolving world of education, technology has become invaluable in shaping the way that our students learn and educators teach.

Over the past few months, Keshet’s leadership team has brushed up on its efforts to make art an even more vital part of programming. By investing in art, we’ve given participants their own canvases to create what they want, explore new ways to communicate and opportunities to succeed.

This school year, Keshet and Schechter have launched an inclusive kindergarten program, where students with disabilities will learn alongside typically developing peers. Not only does this commitment demonstrate a belief that everyone benefits when everyone is included, it also addresses a gap in services available in our community.
Keshet is so fortunate to have incredible DSPs like Jordan Spiwak, who believe wholeheartedly in Keshet’s mission and care so deeply for our participants. Working at Keshet has completely changed his life for the better, giving him a sense of purpose and a deeper connection to his Jewish identity.
