Falmouth Jewish Congregation Hosts a Talk on “Life with a Guide Dog” by Lisa Judelson on Monday, February 25 at 12:30 P.M. Free and welcoming to all. This program marks Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month. In the Jewish community, February is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month. To honor the charge to engage in disability issues, Falmouth Jewish Congregation invites the public to a free, public presentation by Lisa Judelson about life with a guide dog. The organization Guiding Eyes for the Blind matched and trained Lisa and her dog Iron and the two have been together for two years now. Lisa will discuss how they were matched and trained, how they interact with the community, and how Iron has changed her life and that of her family. Lisa will also reflect on the landscape of changing rules and regulations regarding service animals and about guide dog etiquette. There will be ample time for your questions, as well. An optional brown bag lunch precedes the talk (please no pork or shellfish, according to FJC dietary regulations). The congregation will provide drinks and desserts. Falmouth Jewish Congregation, an inclusive, egalitarian Reform congregation serving the Upper Cape and beyond, is located at 7 Hatchville Road, East Falmouth and is accessible and welcoming to all.
