Celebrate Jewish Disability Awareness & Inclusion Month with a moderated conversation featuring Rabbi Lauren Tuchman and Jodi Toledano, exploring accessibility, disability inclusion, and how we can shape a Jewish community that truly includes everyone. 
Where the Light Falls is an exhibition that celebrates the way light shapes our world – from the warmth of a quiet morning to the bold contrast of sun and shadow, to the subtle radiance of color and reflection. Featuring artwork by members of the Montgomery Art Association, the exhibition invites viewers to linger with moments illuminated and to see the familiar anew. Each piece in the show captures a unique encounter with light – where it touches, transforms, surprises, or simply rests.
