[NFBJ] NJ Chapter Meetings and Shabbat

[Rachel Bodek]

Hi, until now I was  part of the New York at large chapter which met Wednesday evenings remotely but we just dismantled it. It wasn't that productive anyway and I mainly keep in touch with some of them when I have a specific need or I try to go to the conventions which I am doing this year in Albany. I will attend Friday, Saturday night, and Sunday sessions and go to a local family for Shabbos. If you want to get to know other visually impaired people who are religious I can help you. You can contact me off-line at rybodek at gmail.com  

This  message  was  sent  with  my  mobile  phone,  please  disregard  any  typos  or  grammatical  errors.  Thanks,  Rachel

Hello all! 

This is something I’ve been sitting on for a while. I live in NJ and I want to join a chapter to get to know people. 

But every single meeting of every chapter in the state is on Saturday. I even looked into the Philadelphia chapter (I live near Philadelphia), but it is also on Saturday. I tried to join the DeafBlind division, and it’s also a Saturday meeting. (I did email about that and I wrote an impassioned plea and they moved the time to be after Shabbat). 

I’m feeling very frustrated by this. How do you folks stay connected with people in the NFB? It just feels isolating.
