SUMMARY:JDAIM Disability Inclusion in Entertainment: Beyond the Pipeline w/RespectAbility
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, February 11\n\n\nTime: 5 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. CT / 3 p.m. MT / 2 p.m. PT\nDuration: 60 minutes \n  \nBRIC Foundation and RespectAbility present: “Disability Inclusion in Entertainment: Beyond the Pipeline\,” a conversation about breaking into the entertainment industry and building community as creative professionals with disabilities. Moderated by Lesley Hennen (Writer\, Entertainment & News Media Associate at RespectAbility)\, and featuring panelists Jeremy Hsing (Writer\, RespectAbility Entertainment Apprentice and Lab Alumnus)\, Samuel Krauss (Writer\, RespectAbility Entertainment Apprentice and Lab Alumnus)\, and Myles Hunt (Visual Artist\, Writer\, and RespectAbility Lab Alumnus). Panelists will discuss navigating the Entertainment industry\, why their voices are important\, and details of the Entertainment Labs and other leadership programs that RespectAbility has to offer. \nSpeaker Bios\nModerator: Lesley Hennen (she/her) is the Entertainment and News Media Associate at RespectAbility\, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to fight stigmas and advance opportunities so people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of community. Hennen brings a professional background in Communications and PR\, as well as expertise in script consulting and independent film production to the team at RespectAbility\, where she works with key players in the Entertainment and News Media industries to promote more authentic representations of people with disabilities on-screen\, as well as more inclusive working environments for people with disabilities behind the camera. \nMyles Hunt is a hard of hearing and proud lifelong hearing aid-wearing visual artist based out of Brooklyn\, NY. Early on he became infatuated with Jim Henson and his famous Muppets while learning his syllables. He practiced lip-syncing to music\, movies\, and television shows while using the puppets that he built himself. Utilizing his love for creatures and all mediums of art\, he developed over 200 characters of his own and counting. He interned for two summers with The Jim Henson Company\, where he took part in the design\, creation\, and performance of Jim Henson Muppets. Currently he is the CEO of sMyles Creative. Through his work with sMyles to date\, he has devoted his efforts to creating\, conceptualizing\, and producing original characters for entertainment and education. As a Writing Fellow for RespectAbility\, he was able to collaborate and showcase his characters to a live audience that past fall of 2022. \nJeremy Hsing is a humanistic sci-fi writer\, mental health advocate\, and second-gen Taiwanese immigrant based in LA. He specializes in using his psychology background (BA in Psychology and double minor in art history and film from UCLA) to construct elaborate worlds in which his characters are forced to experience an internal reckoning and question their morality in the pursuit of an emotional catharsis. Past experiences include being Editor-in-Chief of his high school newspaper and having his first screenplay that he ever wrote selected to be produced by the UCLA Film Summer Institute. He’s also written\, produced\, and directed two short films that live in the realm of magical realism titled Iridescence and Fish. Additionally\, he was awarded the Leon Silverman Scholarship at the 2022 Academy Gold Graduation ceremony and paired with Lee Isaac Chung for a mentorship through the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. A Get Lit Screenwriters Lab Fellow\, RespectAbility Entertainment Lab TV Writing Fellow\, and Coverfly Best Unrepped Writers List 2022 Honoree\, in his free time\, Jeremy loves to listen to Kendrick Lamar due to his lyrical exploration of intergenerational trauma and toxic masculinity. \nSamuel Krauss is a TV comedy writer and a gay/disabled/wheelchair-using man who focuses on telling young adult comedies featuring disabled protagonists. Sam has been shortlisted for shows on Netflix\, and has completed a six month mentorship with Lara Spotts (MINX\, HBO) through Eryn Brown’s (360 Entertainment\, 1IN4) program. Sam is also named as a fellow of RespectAbility’s Entertainment Lab. His latest pilot\, SKY TROLLEY\, was announced as one of the winners for WeScreenplay’s Diverse Voices and has garnered numerous awards eventually rising to coverfly’s banner Red List. In 2022\, Sam received his MFA in screenwriting from Spalding University. Sam currently is a RespectAbility Entertainment Apprentice and enjoys a bi-monthly writers’ collective where a group of five disabled TV writers gather under Nathan Varni’s (ABC\, Current Programming) tutelage.

SUMMARY:Direct Support Professionals – Accompanying People in their Spiritual Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 15\nTime: 2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT / 12 p.m. MT / 11 a.m. PT \nRegister Online\n  \n\n \nLearn more about the full series \n\nHelping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities discover and find belonging in a faith community of their choice can be daunting. Support staff come from different traditions or may have no religious background. Discovering the “right fit” can be tricky. Accompanying someone on their spiritual journey is about more than attending. The Direct Support Professional (DSP) may need to be a guide\, coach\, and community builder! The work can be meaningful and rewarding\, calling on DSPs to acknowledge their own spiritual biases as they help people find a community of belonging. This session provides practical tips for support teams\, from making initial contacts and introductions to helping build relationships between the people you support and members of a church\, synagogue\, or mosque. \nSpeaker Bios\nBill Gaventa is an author\, speaker\, trainer\, and consultant primarily in the arena of faith and disability. He is the founder and Director Emeritus of the Summer Institute of Theology and Disability and the current Director of the National Collaborative on Faith and Disability. He was the Director of Community and Congregational Supports at the Elizabeth M. Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities in New Jersey from 1995-2013. His primary areas of experience and expertise include spiritual and faith-based supports with people with disabilities\, training for clergy\, seminarians\, and community services staff\, aging\, end of life/grief issues in intellectual and developmental disabilities\, cultural competence\, and community building. He served as the President of American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities from 2016-2017. He was Editor of the Journal of Religion\, Disability and Health for 14 years\, and is author of Spirituality and Disability: Recovering Wholeness published by Baylor University Press in 2018. \nKeith Dow\, PhD. (he/him) lives near Ottawa\, Ontario and serves as the Manager of Organizational and Spiritual Life with Christian Horizons (christianhorizons.org). Keith coaches supervisors and Direct Support Professionals in the areas of grief and loss\, compassion fatigue\, and conflict resolution. Trained as a theologian\, Dr. Dow is the author of Formed Together: Mystery\, Narrative\, and Virtue in Christian Caregiving (Baylor\, 2021) and works with churches and service providers to support the spiritual needs and contribution of people with intellectual disabilities in all aspects of faith and life. \nJasmine Duckworth has been serving with Christian Horizons since 2004 and has been disabled herself since 2015. As part of her role as Community Development Manager she often speaks with churches and community groups about disability\, accessibility\, and ableism.

SUMMARY:JDAIM Movie Screening of Shira Choir: Just As I am and Miami Sound Choir Night at MB JCC
DESCRIPTION:Shira Choir: Just As I Am\n\n\nSPECIAL UNDER THE STARS PRESENTATION \nA little film with a great big heart and an official selection of MJFF 2022\, Evan Beloff’s documentary follows the lives of several members of the Shira Choir\, comprised of an exceptional group of singers with special needs\, and the choirmaster that unites them. In Just As I Am\, we meet Daniel Benlolo\, a cantor and rabbi who founded the Shira Choir for special needs adults who must leave the structured confines of school once they’ve reached age 21. He has seen how singing in the ensemble provides these individuals with motivation\, goals\, and community\, and the results are transformative. This touching journey through sorrow and joy\, life and death\, shows us how music challenges\, heals\, and uplifts those who are devoted to it. \nPreceding the film presentation\, the Miami Sound Choir will be performing a special rehearsal from 6pm-7:30pm inside the Miami Beach JCC that will be open to the general public. \nImmediately following the film Dr. Diane Adreon (UM-NSU CARD) and Nancy Zaretsky\, Inclusion Specialist with the Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance\, will address the issues that adults with disabilities and their families face. \nThis special event is presented in celebration of Jewish Disabilities Awareness and Inclusion Month and is made possible with the support of the Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance\, Miami Beach JCC\, UM CARD\, Casa Familia\, Miami Sound Space\, and the Miami Jewish Film Festival.
