Ten area synagogues have improved their accessibility to individuals with disabilities, thanks to grants from a local consortium of Jewish and healthcare philanthropies.
The challenge grants, ranging from $450-$2,000, have helped the synagogues meet their accessibility goals, from purchasing large-print prayer books to installing high-tech systems for the hard of hearing.
MetroWest ABLE, which focuses on accessibility issues in the local Jewish community, announced the grants at the Sept. 20 board meeting of United Jewish Communities of MetroWest NJ.
