Accessibility updates can be pricey, but so can a congregation’s other needs, Asin said.

Dignity is needed in accessibility as well, said Amy Asin, the Union for Reform Judaism’s vice president of congregational engagement and leadership experiences.

Anybody who’s “had to go through the kitchen to get to the sanctuary has experienced what congregations need to do,” Asin said.

“If we’ve had the blessing of living long enough, we will all be disabled. This is not about them. This is about all of us,” Asin said.

Asin said donors may be interested in funding a particular accessibility project.
