[NFBJ] Cantors?

[Stewart Prost]

Ricky,
The only person I know who is blind is now a retired Cantor is Mindy
Jacobson.  She lives in New York City.  I am not sure if she is the same
"Mindy" you referred in your email..  I also know of a young woman who is
blind who is attending Hebrew Union College Cantorial program.  I hope this
helps.
