The purpose of this conference is to bring together clergy and families to discuss
ways to include people with autism and other special needs in the life of their faith
community. This conference is free and open to clergy and families interested in
this topic.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER Rabbi Bradley Artson, Vice President of the Abner and
Roslyn Goldstine Dean’s Chair in the Ziegler School at the American Jewish
University.
Rabbi Artson is a respected rabbi, faculty member, and speaker and also the parent
of a child with autism. In his morning keynote address, he will share his
experience and perspective as a rabbi and as a parent.
Following Rabbi Artson’s keynote, there will be a panel discussion with local faith
