Makedah has already told the group alot about us. Her story does highlight some of the difficulties we face. The public perception and expectations about people with disabilities,racism and elitism. She and I created our own website for Jews who are living insolated and or rural areas an unaffiliated Jews in the Diaspora. We felt many Jews who live in rural areas do not have close ties with other Jews. In addition, we need the support of one another to continue feeling apart of the Jewish People. Makedah is correct in that we have never step inside a temple or synagogue. We hope someday we can. The two of us are teaching ourselves Hebrew, so we can say the prayers and blessings in Hebrew. Our goal is to find someone or an agency to help us purchase a Braille Embosser. It cost $2,000. It is a machine which works with your computer, takes text from a document and translate it into Braille and prints it out in Braille. So many books are not available in Braille and if they are, they are too costly. So we could then write our own books. As for our website,
