The first Orthodox Jewish Prayerbook was issued today in English and Hebrew Braille. It contains Daily, Sabbath and Festival Prayers. Arranged by the Jewish Braille Institute in five volumes of encyclopedia-size, the Prayerbooks in Braille are gifts of the United States and Canadian affiliates of the Women’s Branch of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregation of America. The volumes will be distributed to the Jewish blind throughout the United States, Canada, Israel, and other countries.
