With one hand, I'm holding onto a sighted guide.  Using a cane might trip other people.

In my other hand, I'm cradling the Etrog and Lulav.

I don't have a third hand to hold a Braille prayerbook to read the actual chant.

In the past, I've tried to memorize the chant before I go to synagogue.  Sometimes, it works.

Sometimes I forget.

Sometimes I ask my sighted guide to chant it loud enough for me to repeat.

Fellow NFBJ chanters, what's your experience.

Despite the wind and rain, I ate two out of four meals in my Sukkah.

Let's pray for calmer weather.
