SULAM-LI:
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT ?

The Hebrew word SULAM means "ladder". Just as a ladder enables a person to reach heights that he or she could not reach alone, the SULAM-LI program enables school-age Jewish children with special needs to reach new heights in their Jewish Education. 

Meeting every Sunday morning from 10:00 am until 12:00 noon, SULAM-LI staff employ a wide range of techniques to impart the beauty of our Jewish heritage to special needs students.

With an emphasis on multi-sensory and experimental learning, the SULAM-LI program incorporates art, cooking and story telling to adapt the classic congregational school curriculum to the needs of our students.  A special music and movement program involves participants in joyful expression of Jewish song and prayer. Parent support groups enable SULAM-LI families to discuss important issues and share resources.  Chanukah and Purim parties, a Model Seder, and a Lag B'Omer family picnic round out the educational experience.
