Hi Amanda,

Unfortunately, this list does not get a lot of traffic. I’ve been on the list for over two years now, and I think this is probably the second or third email I’ve ever seen. I am always interested in talking with other blind Jews, especially orthodox Jews, so feel free to contact me anytime. There used to be a wonderful resource for Blind Jews called Yismahu, but I believe it was shut down due to lack of funds. Personally, I would love to see some more activity on this list. 
As far as websites like J date, they are pretty accessible with the iPhone and voiceover and JAWS. I have never found a problem with them. Looking forward to hearing from you more. Shabbat shalom.
