Goals
- To make our Services and events accessible to our Deaf congregants
Overview
We want to hire professional sign-language interpreters so as to make our Services and events fully accessible to our Deaf and hard-of-hearing congregants.
We often draw at least a "minyan" (10-person group) to our Services, and they deserve full, unfettered access to them, provided by the best, most capable interpreters around.
$5,000 in funds from a Refresh Project grant would make it possible to pay for a roughly monthly schedule for about a year. The larger the grant, of course, then the more frequently we could offer interpretation, as well as the longer we could continue to do so.
(Please visit www.jdrc.org to see a slideshow of some photos taken at a recent ASL-interpreted Service of ours.)
How will the 25K be Used? |

| Budget Notes: Most of our publicity is done online and/or via email so there's no significant marginal cost there. The item with the greatest cost is the interpreting itself. | |
| $ 25,000 | American Sign Language/English/Hebrew interpreters |
