Council For Jews With Special Needs

Keshet House is a supervised group residence for three young Jewish adults who have moderate to severe developmental disabilities. Since the Council began in 1985, parents of adults with special needs have expressed their desire to see their sons and daughters settled in a supervised residence that continues to nurture their Jewish identity. The residents of Keshet House have participated in religious school classes, celebrated their bar and bat mitzvahs, and joined their Jewish friends twice a month for social group activities. Andy, David and Rob look forward to celebrating Shabbat on Friday evenings, lighting their menorah for Chanukah, and enjoying the Passover seder in spring.
