MG: What is your idea of “inclusiveness”? Does this extend to the idea of women leading prayer “minyan’s” Rabba/Weiss style?
I thought it was crystal clear from the OP that he was talking about inclusiveness vis-a-vis the mentally and physically handicapped. There’s no reason to bring in side issues just to stir up controversy.
In our shul, we have a few adults who are high-functioning Down’s syndrome sufferers. They daven for the amud, receive aliyos and otherwise participate as full members of the shul.
