SUMMARY:Death Over Donuts
DESCRIPTION:Our uniting truth is that every single one of us will die. Despite this fact\, our culture shies away from acknowledging it\, making everything—from discussions on end-of-life medical wishes to expressions of what we want our memorial services to look like—feel morbid and sometimes downright scary. But these conversations don’t need to feel this way! Join us for an evening of discussion and connection around what it means to you to have a “good death.” What do you wish for yourself and for those you love most? What conversations can you be starting with loved ones today to ensure that they and you receive the care we all truly deserve at the end of our lives? All are welcome! \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:IAC| Keshet
DESCRIPTION:Keshet – Where Kids Connect to Israel and Families Feel at Home \nKeshet is a joyful\, hands-on experience for children ages 4–8 to build a meaningful connection to Israel through culture\,\nHebrew\, tradition\, and community.\nKids explore Israeli life through music\, stories\, games\, and creative activities — while also being introduced to the Hebrew language\nin a fun and natural way.

SUMMARY:JDAIM Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:February is Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month (JDAIM). Founded in 2009\, JDAIM is a global initiative that raises awareness\, fosters acceptance\, and promotes the full inclusion of people with disabilities in Jewish life. \nRecently\, Matan published a study\,  Closing the Inclusion Gap: A Report on Disability and Belonging in Jewish Life\, which revealed widespread challenges across the Jewish community in creating accessible and inclusive spaces for people with disabilities. Despite good intentions and a desire to foster belonging\, Jewish spaces continue to struggle to provide appropriate access and accommodation — but we can change this! \nIn honor of JDAIM\, Shalom Austin Jewish Family Service has invited a professional in disability inclusion –working outside of the Jewish communal space — to facilitate an unbiased community conversation around where we are today\, where we could improve going forward\, and actionable next (or first) steps our organizations can take. Through guided discussion and conversational prompts\, we will operate as a Jewish communal “think tank” to share ideas\, workshop solutions to shared challenges\, and walk away with enhanced clarity on what we can do in 2026 to improve inclusion and accessibility in Jewish spaces.
