I just learned of an impressive new website intended which aims to provide “a range of ASL videos that focus on different topics in Judaism. All videos are fully captioned for those who do not understand American Sign Language.” (Thanks to Steve Brenner for the tip!). Check www.DeafJews.org out!
It is just wonderful when I see young individuals stand up to affirm their Judaism and to carry out the essential Jewish mitzvah of Tikkun Olam or making the world a better place.
It shows that you and I are not alone!
Since its almost Chanukah time, I checked out their videos on this topic. The video “Cooking with Rachel” is enticing. I especially enjoyed the ABC story on Chanukah–and really liked the video on the Chanukah Question.
The last video (Chanukah Question) is absolutely apt because it reminds me of the old Jewish saying that when two Jews get together, you’ll end up with three opinions.
Happy Chanukah everybody!
