In honor of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM), join Gateways, Yachad, and the Ruderman Synagogue Inclusion Project for a Zoom conversation with Captain Udi Heller, the highest-ranking autistic soldier in the IDF  and recipient of the Chief of Staff Award. He will tell his story of growing up autistic in Israel and establishing Titkadmu (Move Forward), a one-of-a-kind program for autistic soldiers. In the presentation, you’ll hear how Capt. Heller created systemic change in the IDF, revolutionizing the draft system and shifting mindsets around inclusion.
