Step into an inspiring exploration of faith, art, and inclusion with artist Sharoni Sibony. In this illustrated lecture, Sharoni brings the wisdom of Torah into conversation with a striking new series of poster images created for the JCC Association of North America’s Eight Guiding Principles on Inclusion.

Through text and image study, she invites us to see disability justice not as a side note, but as a central expression of Jewish values. This is more than a lecture — it’s a call to reimagine community, celebrate diversity, and embrace the sacred wholeness of every individual.
