>The Blind Jewish Exchange  list is being formed to start discussion among
>people who are Jewish and who are Blind or Low Vision.
>
>Topics we might want to discuss include, but are certainly not limited to:
>acceptance within the Jewish community,
>accessing religious texts and other Hebrew materials
>Access to Jewish educational institutions
>Dating/relationships
>Are the institutions that purport to serve us doing what we need?
>
>This list is not a place for Christians to seek out converts or for anyone
>to insult someone based on their having a
>
>different level of religious observance, or non-observance. Actually,
>insulting each other in any way is not in accordance
>
>with the purpose of the list. The list will not be moderated, but if
>someone breaks these ground rules and the issue cannot
>
>be resolved peacefully, they may be removed from the list.
>Members will be asked to limit sharing of jokes and daily chit-chat so
>that the list can really discuss the topics at hand
>
>without generating so much mail that people must choose between the list
>and their lives.
>All that serious business aside, it is also hoped this will be a place
>where we can share resources, ideas, and support and
>
>have a good time.
