Yedei Chesed Launches Community Beis Medrash For Individuals With Developmental Disabilities

Yedei Chesed recently announced its creation of a community-based Torah-learning program. The beis medrash – or Jewish study hall located in a synagogue, yeshiva, kollel, or other building – will be aimed at helping males aged 18 to 40 who have developmental disabilities.

The program will be overseen and operated by specially trained rebbeim and educators, and emphasize vocational and life-skills training. Additionally, the program will focus on giving participants a greater confidence in their areas of employments and in their social interactions within the general community.

Yedei Chesed was founded in 1992 to advocate for the developmentally disabled . . .
