We are thrilled to announce the first ever Matan Institute for Education Directors, to be held in Manhattan on March 11-12, 2012 and 2 more days (TBD) in March, 2013. These days – and the months that follow – will be filled with opportunities to make your school even more inclusive, in a manner that works for your individual community.
Our time together will kick off with a keynote address by Jacob Artson, an 18 year old from Los Angeles who has Autism, and his father, Rabbi Bradley Artson, Dean of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University.
