Abstract
Special efforts must be undertaken to make the Jewish community accessible and inviting to the Jewish deaf. Currently, the rate of intermarriage and conversion to Christianity among the Jewish deaf community is much higher than in the community as a whole. This article describes the steps taken by the Jewish Social Services Agency in the Washington area to increase the accessibility of the Jewish community to the Jewish deaf.
