Yachad members and Yeshivah of Flatbush Students
Co-Star in Go The Distance: A Musical Review
The Orthodox Union’s Yachad, the National Jewish Council for Disabilities, and the Yeshivah of Flatbush, presented their annual musical presentation – this year called Go The Distance: A Musical Revue – in which Yachad members appeared side-by-side with Yeshivah students in starring roles.
The presentation represented the philosophy of Yachad to “include” and integrate in as wide a variety of communal activities and normative experiences as possible.
Below are scenes from the musical which beautifully demonstrates that normalization and integration:
