Rev. Donald J. McCoid Executive for Ecumenical & Interreligious Relations Evangelical Lutheran Church in America | | Review "A Place for All, from the accomplished filmmaking team of Debra Gonsher Vinik and David Vinik, features the efforts of some religious bodies to welcome the disabled among us... The general idea pervades that if you don't really value people with disabilities, you won't budget for accommodating them. And Rabbi Leigh, himself deaf, suggests that choosing not to accommodate others actually hurts the congregation as well as the disabled person, for the congregation is missing out on gifts it would otherwise receive." Cliff Vaughn EthicsDaily.com | Review "These are moving stories of real people who can help us all to deepen our appreciation of the infinite dignity of all people, however challenged or different they may be." to read more... Rabbi Brad Hirschfield President, CLAL | | | | | Thank you for the continued support of our projects. You play an invaluable role in helping us continue to bring important stories to light.
Sincerely, David Vinik Diva Communications
