Hi Group, What is being discussed here is commonly referred to as 'an assistive listening device.' I am really surprised that the Temple does not have them as part of their worship service. Most synagogues and churches I am familiar with do have at least a few of them available for congregants with significant hearing loss. ----- Original Message ----- From: "COLLEEN ROTH" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2013 6:10 PM Subject: Re: off topic help needed , Does the Temple have a device which allows people to hear with their receivers. Some churches have this so that people can use a device to hear what is going on. I think these things are also used at NFB National and State Conventions.
