It is Chol HaMoed Succot
and the first rainy day of the fall season is upon us. Yad Sarah's unique
program that facilitates day trips for people in wheelchairs is in full swing
despite the wet weather. This group, a joint venture of "Mangishei
Derech," (literally making accessible travel possible) and Yad Sarah, is embarking
on a magical journey in the footsteps of the pilgrims to Jerusalem. Part of a series
of trips for people in wheelchairs that promotes accessibility to tourist sites
throughout Israel, the group is traveling in YadSaraVans, specially outfitted
to carry people confined to wheelchairs. The dedicated drivers and devoted
guides join together to create an opportunity for people with disabilities to
tour the country despite the difficulties.
Yad Sarah is once again making dreams come true for people
with disabilities – with another exciting visit to an historic location, this
time the Western wall in Jerusalem's Old City. It is just one more stride
forward in realizing everyone's right to travel and explore anywhere in Israel.
