Through the "Proud and Jewish" class for students with severe developmental disabilities, these "forgotten" children of the Jewish community are given an opportunity to learn about their Jewish heritage in an atmosphere of care, love and sensitivity to their needs.

The classes instill in the hearts of the students a love for Jewish life, knowledge, at their own ability level, of the customs and rituals of Judaism ,and sense of belonging to the Jewish people in a safe and secure classroom atmosphere. Future plans include reaching out to physically handicapped and emotionally challenged students.
