"Thanks to JDRC's partnership with the Academy for Jewish Religion, I had the opportunity to take a Jewish liturgy course that significantly enhanced my skills as an ASL interpreter that enabled me to provide meaningful communication access for Deaf congregants."

A teenage boy wearing a kippah draws on paper at a table beside a woman in festive attire. Colored pencils, a dreidel, and a menorah with unlit candles are on the table. Flowers are in the foreground.
A young woman and an older man, both wearing light blue shirts, sit together on outdoor wicker furniture. The man points at something in an open card while the woman looks on attentively. Yellow leaves are visible nearby.

"I never had a Jewish education growing up because it was not designed for Deaf students like me. Thanks to JDRC and its partners, I have the opportunity to catch up."

"JDRC's expert guidance has been instrumental in helping our synagogue create more inclusive programs that warmly welcomes the Jewish Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Their support ensures that our community thrives together."

Our Impact

Since 1996, the Jewish Deaf Resource Center, a 501(c)3 national nonprofit organization, has served as a communication access bridge between Jewish Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals and the wider Jewish community. Despite our efforts, many Jewish Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals remain marginalized, lacking adequate communication access. Your support helps us reduce these barriers and ensures that we can continue to close the communication gap.

Our Goals

  • Train professional interpreters for work in Jewish settings.
  • Create a scholarship fund for Deaf students to access Jewish educational programs typically not accessible to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals.
  • Train captioners unfamiliar with Jewish vocabulary but who work in the Jewish community.
  • Guide synagogues and Jewish agencies in providing communication access in support of community inclusion and equitable society.
