Executive Director

About Matan Inc.
Matan Inc. is a national leader in transforming the Jewish community’s approach to disability
inclusion. Through training, coaching and consultations, Matan empowers Jewish community
leaders and educators to provide purposeful, enriching, and inclusive opportunities for people
with disabilities across the lifespan.

Matan’s Core Values

• Collective Strength
  We believe all are created in the image of God; neurodivergence is part of the human
  experience and we want everyone to honor that. Communities are only as strong and vibrant
  as their ability to include people who are often marginalized.
• Communal Responsibility
  It is every Jewish person’s birthright to experience their Judaism in ways they find fulfilling and
  meaningful, and we believe it is everyone’s job to hold community members and leaders
  accountable for creating inclusive environments for all.
• Conscious Intentionality
  Community leaders and educators should be thoughtful about how people with disabilities and
  their families will take part in the programs and services available. Jewish organizations should
  intentionally provide meaningful and accessible opportunities for all members.
• Collaborative Partnership
  We believe that Matan’s vision can only be accomplished by partnering with other organizations
  who are similarly dedicated to a fully inclusive Jewish community. By collaborating with others,
  we expand our impact and provide the most up-to-date practices with those we serve.
