Our Commitment to Accessibility
KEHILA is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that every visitor deserves a seamless, dignified, and equitable digital experience, and we continuously invest in making our online presence more inclusive.
This Accessibility Statement reflects our ongoing efforts to align with leading international standards and best practices, and to provide a website that is usable, navigable, and understandable for all.
Standards and Guidelines
KEHILA strives to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines are widely recognized as the global benchmark for digital accessibility and serve as the foundation for accessibility regulations across many jurisdictions, including:
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in the United States.
- The European Accessibility Act (EAA) and EN 301 549 standard in the European Union.
- The Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998 and its accessibility regulations (Regulation 35).
Accessibility Features on Our Website
To enhance the user experience for visitors with diverse needs, our website includes a built-in accessibility widget that allows users to personalize their browsing experience. The widget offers a range of adjustments, which may include:
- Adjusting text size and spacing for improved readability.
- Enabling high-contrast or inverted color modes.
- Highlighting links and interactive elements.
- Pausing animations and motion effects.
- Adjusting cursor visibility.
- Supporting screen-reader compatibility.
- Providing keyboard-friendly navigation.
The accessibility widget can be activated through the dedicated icon displayed on the website, allowing each visitor to tailor the interface to their individual preferences.
Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our website’s content, structure, and functionality, and we work to identify and resolve barriers as our platform evolves. When new pages, features, or content are added, we aim to ensure that they are designed and developed with accessibility in mind.
Limitations and Known Issues
Despite our continuous efforts, certain areas of the website may not yet be fully accessible. This may occur due to third-party content, embedded media, or technical components that fall outside our direct control. Where such limitations exist, we are working to identify alternative solutions and improvements.
If you encounter any content or functionality on our website that presents an accessibility barrier, we encourage you to let us know so we can address it promptly.
