With the August number of the “Jewish Braille Review,” just published, the Jewish blind of America celebrate the first anniversary of the only distinctively Jewish Braille periodical in the world.
This monthly magazine, printed in the Braille system and sent free to its readers, was launched last August chiefly through the initiative of the Federation of Temple Sisterhoods. It is published by the Jewish Braille Institute of America, Inc., an organization established to minister to the cultural and spiritual needs of the Jewish blind.
The magazine is edited by Leopold Dubov, executive secretary of the Institute, who is himself without sight.
