Shiluv, Hebrew for “inclusion," is a Peer Disability Education Program developed by Gateways. Designed for a variety of Jewish day school settings, Shiluv fosters a culture of respect and appreciation of physical, developmental, and learning differences and an understanding that these differences are a natural aspect of the human experience.
By focusing on the overall culture and mindset of the community towards difference and disability, and doing so through a uniquely Jewish lens, Shiluv seeks to shift understandings of what it truly means to include people with disabilities in Jewish community.
