Hi Kristen,
It was I who mentioned a teleconference support group my friend 
and I are starting.  It is not affiliated with the NFB and we do 
want the appropriateness of the content to meet Orthodox 
standards-it's up to anyone who would like to join to decide if 
it's for them.  Regarding this listserve, I might forward 
Orthodox related events and resources, but I have no problem if 
anyone from other affiliations discuss other things and 
resources.  Thank you!

Hello everyone,

Really nice to see all the discussion on the list.  I'm not sure 
if the suggestion about keeping discussions orthodox related to 
this list or if that was a comment regarding the project of a 
friend of this list.  Since we  all come from different 
approaches to Judaism, I think it will be important to keep in 
mind that everyone has a valid voice in NFB in Judaism forums.  
With the knowledge that we may not all practice the same way and 
will need to be respectful of differences, I'd love to see the 
posts you are discussing.  Thank you to everyone for your 
enthusiasm!

Hi and shavuah tov, Rachel,

I think it would be a fantastic idea to include a line for Jewish 
men.  Iâ€™d be glad to help in anyway I can with that.  Iâ€™m 
glad to see that, thanks to Amanda, this list is actually not 
completely dead.  Letâ€™s keep it that way.  Maybe each of us, 
you, Amanda and I, can take turns each week picking a topic,  
either from the parshat ha-shavuah or some other Jewish-related 
topic, and starting a discussion.  When more people start talking 
on the list, they can start picking topics as well.  What are 
your thoughts? Amanda, feel free to weigh in here as well.

 Hi Ryan,
 I just signed up for this list and I'm glad Amanda started this 
conversation.  I spoke with my friend who is starting the Insight 
Beyond Eyesight for Jewish women.  We agreed that as long as 
participants are open to keeping the conversations to Orthodox 
standards, anyone can join.  Now that I see your e-mail, I'm 
thinking of asking my friend to start another line for Jewish 
men.  We have a list of possible participants to start with 
already.  What do you think?
 Also, as Sherley had requested, I am attaching a list of frum 
books
 available on bookshare and JBI/NLS-the latter I just started so 
it's
 not very extensive yet.  If you have any more to add, please let 
me
 know.  Thank you

 Hi Amanda,

 Unfortunately, this list does not get a lot of traffic.  Iâ€™ve 
been on the list for over two years now, and I think this is 
probably the second or third email Iâ€™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.

 Hello everyone,
 My name is Amanda Cape.  I am 26 years old and live in Montreal,
 Canada.  I am Jewish and was so happy to recently discover that 
the
 NFB has a Judaism division.  I would like to get to know 
everyone and
 to learn about what is discussed on this mailing list.  Has 
anyone
 ever used the Jewish dating apps or websites with Jaws or 
VoiceOver?
 If so, how did they work and which ones did you use?
 I am interested in getting more connected within the Jewish 
community.
 I look forward to hearing from everyone!
 Thanks,
 Amanda
