[NFBJ] Reaching Out

[Livia Thompson]

We have been in touch with the National Libary for the Blind in Israel, and we are ready to help in any way possible.  By the way, I hope you all know that we are recording the materials that the Jewish Book Council is posting from Israel and making them available to our patrons, and to anyone on the JBC email list.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions of how we can also be useful.

Greetings and Shabbat Shalom,

With all that is going on in Israel, I have thought about the idea of

reaching out to blind people in Israel.  Some of you may have contacts in

Israel with either individuals or groups of blind people.  I think it would

be nice and appropriate through this group to reach out as individuals.  We

can show support, provide items that people may need (e.g. Braille Writers,

slates and Stylises, other blindness related items).  Many people have from

both the South and now the North of Israel needed to relocate and may have

needs in general that we in the Diaspora can provide.  It can be as simple

as sending money or reaching out to them, showing our support, as it is

hard to ship items to Israel.  Let me know of any contacts that you have.

I would be happy to reach out to them.  Please either respond on the list

or to me personally.  My contact information is below.



Shabbat Shalom,

*Stewart Prost*
