Resolutions About Accessibility

The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism has passed two significant resolutions:

Mezuzah Accessibility

Drafted by USYers and adopted at the 1997 United Synagogue Biennial Convention, the resolution calls upon all affiliated congregations to place the mezuzot low enough within the top third of the doorpost of the entrances to the synagogue to make them readily accessible to all and encouraging individuals to do the same in their homes.

Accessibility

enacted at its 1991 USCJ Biennial convention, this resolution calls upon the USCJ to provide guidance to its constituent congregations for the implementation of measures to make synagogues accessible to person with disabilities, urges all congregations to take immediate steps to make all synagogues physically and programmatically open and accessible to persons with disabilities, urges all segments of the congregation to become involved in the process of welcoming persons with disabilities into its synagogues, and commits to ensuring that all future conventions and public programs of the USCJ be held within facilities that provide adequate accessibility.
