<p><strong>JDRC Salutes Conservative Judaism’s Ruling to Include Deaf Jews as Equals</strong></p> <p>The Jewish Deaf Resource Center (JDRC) applauds the Conservative Movement’s<br /> Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS) for unanimously passing a<br /> historic Teshuvah positively impacting the lives of Jews who are deaf and<br /> hard-of-hearing. With this Teshuvah, the Conservative Jewish Movement now<br /> recognizes that individuals who communicate in sign language are equals and<br /> that the Conservative Jewish community must strive to be accessible and<br /> inclusive.</p> <p>On May 24th, 2011, the CJLS passed a Teshuvah stating the following in part:</p> <p>“The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards rules that the deaf who<br /> communicate via sign language and do not speak are no longer to be<br /> considered mentally incapacitated. Jews who are deaf are responsible for<br /> observing mitzvot. Our communities, synagogues, schools, and camps must<br /> strive to be welcoming and accessible, and inclusive. Sign language may be<br /> used in matters of personal status and may be used in rituals. A deaf person<br /> called to the Torah who does not speak may recite the berakhot via sign<br /> language. A deaf person may serve as a shaliah tzibbur in sign language in a<br /> minyan whose medium of communication is sign language.”</p> <p>Alexis Kashar, president of JDRC said, “This is a historic moment as we deaf<br /> and hard of hearing Jews are now able to stand along with the larger<br /> Conservative Jewish community as equals. We truly appreciate Rabbi Pamela<br /> Barmash’s pioneering efforts as the author of this Teshuvah.”</p> <p>The Jewish Deaf Resource Center is a national advocacy organization whose<br /> mission is to build bridges between Jews who are deaf and hard-of-hearing<br /> and the individuals and organizations which serve the Jewish community<br /> throughout North America.</p> <p>Beth M. Mann, Associate Vice President of The Jewish Federations of North<br /> American (JFNA), said, “JDRC has been a magnificent partner in widening the<br /> tent of Jewish communal participation, a shared mission for both the JDRC<br /> and the JFNA. The responsum from CJLS represents a pivotal Jewish moment in<br /> our history as a people and our ever-expanding quest to provide a dynamic<br /> and magnetic community in which our people wish to participate.”</p> <p>As stated by Rabbi Barmash, “This is yet another example of how Jewish law<br /> and spirituality, guided by the innovative spirit of tradition, embraces the<br /> challenges of the present.”</p> <p>A copy of the full Teshuvah can be found at</p> <p>Download PDF file – Links:<br /> <a href="http://rabbinicalassembly.org/sites/default/files/public/halakhah/teshuvot/2011-2020/Status%20of%20the%20Heresh6.2011.pdf" target="_blank">http://rabbinicalassembly.org/sites/default/files/public/halakhah/teshuvot/2011-2020/Status%20of%20the%20Heresh6.2011.pdf</a></p> <p>Press Release Submitted By:<br /> JDRC Co-Founder<br /> Naomi Brunnlehrman, MA<br /> <a href="http://www.jdrc.org" target="_blank"> http://www.jdrc.org</a><br /> 917-705-8941</p> <div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-14734" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon" href="https://deafnetwork.com/wordpress/blog/2011/06/20/jdrc-salutes-conservative-judaisms-ruling-to-include-deaf-jews-as-equals/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span>Facebook</span></a></li><li class="share-twitter"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-twitter-14734" class="share-twitter sd-button share-icon" href="https://deafnetwork.com/wordpress/blog/2011/06/20/jdrc-salutes-conservative-judaisms-ruling-to-include-deaf-jews-as-equals/?share=twitter" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Twitter" ><span>Twitter</span></a></li><li class="share-linkedin"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-linkedin-14734" class="share-linkedin sd-button share-icon" href="https://deafnetwork.com/wordpress/blog/2011/06/20/jdrc-salutes-conservative-judaisms-ruling-to-include-deaf-jews-as-equals/?share=linkedin" target="_blank" title="Click to share on LinkedIn" ><span>LinkedIn</span></a></li><li class="share-pocket"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-pocket sd-button share-icon" href="https://deafnetwork.com/wordpress/blog/2011/06/20/jdrc-salutes-conservative-judaisms-ruling-to-include-deaf-jews-as-equals/?share=pocket" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Pocket" ><span>Pocket</span></a></li><li class="share-email"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-email sd-button share-icon" href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#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" target="_blank" title="Click to email a link to a friend" data-email-share-error-title="Do you have email set up?" data-email-share-error-text="If you're having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
