Yachad Cleveland was founded in 1987 by Sarah Taub OBM, to ensure that Jewish teens and young adults with disabilities were included in the community at large.

Yachad's mission is dedicated to enriching the lives of Jewish Individuals with disabilities and their families, by enhancing their communal participation and their connection to Judaism through social and educational programs and support services.

Ahuva Taub continues her mother's legacy by being the longest running Yachad participant, attending programs spanning more than 2 decades.

She is an active board member of the Sarah Taub GO B'Yachad program: Yachad's women's only social club that was named in memory of her mother.

Ahuva especially loves Yachad Shabbatons, Chinese food, and spending time with friends.

Dassi Shtern's career in Special Education began as a volunteer for Yachad when she was in high school, and she credits Yachad for teaching her the value of inclusion.

She has since made it her mission to support inclusion in the Cleveland Jewish community through her role as Director of Special Education and SEGULA at the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland, and through her community work including her role on the Cleveland Yachad Board.

Dassi and Ahuva have been good friends since high school and still enjoy spending time together. Thanks to Yachad, they are lifelong friends.
