Perelman Updates Parking Spots
The Perelman Jewish Day School, the Kaiserman JCC, Einstein Health and Moss Rehab changed
the logos on parking spots for people with disabilities on Perelman’s Wynnewood campus.
The new logo shows a silhouette leaning forward in an active posture, replacing the old silhou-

and JCC staff members helped paint this international symbol of accessibility.
