The weekend of October 10 is Florida State convention of NFB, but I would say any other weekend would work well for me Sent from my iPhone

I am pleased that there has been so much activity on the NFBJ listserv.   Yesterday, I spoke with Yonathan Reches and Rabbi Lenny Sarko, who are mainly working on this idea.  They have told me that they are willing to participate in a Zoom meeting.  I suggested to both of them that we have the meeting sometime after the High Holidays.  They both agreed.  Previously, we have had our meetings on Sunday afternoons, eastern time so that we could have possible participation from people in other areas of the world (e.g. Israel and one person from South Africa).  I would like to propose some possible dates and see particularly from our speakers, which dates work for them, as well as others.  Here are some possible dates; October 10, 18, November 1, 8, & 15.  Please let me know what dates look good to you, particularly our presenters.  (Everyone can respond directly to me, rather than using Reply All).
