At the heart of the Silver Spring community stands an organization like no other. Sulam, a special education inclusion program for children with learning differences, uses high quality, research-based practices to ensure that every child has access to a Jewish education. 

Sulam’s devoted team of social workers, speech pathologists, reading specialists, Judaic and general studies special educators, and instructors provide the necessary supports for students with learning differences who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go to Jewish Day School. Students in the Sulam program are highly successful, graduating with the ability to attend yeshivas and seminaries, 2- and 4-year colleges, and vocational schools. 

Sulam serves grades K–12 at Berman Hebrew Academy, and grades 1–5 at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day school. 

“I credit Sulam with giving me the skills to make it in the [Towson University Honors program] and survive there.” — Mike Minsk, Sulam Alum, Class of ‘20.
