The publication of a prayerbook in Braille for the Jewish blind, has been announced by the National Council of Jewish Women, through Mrs. Max Bloomstein, National Chairman of its Committee on Work for the Blind and Sight Conservation. It will be off the press at the end of February.
Mrs. Bloomstein explained that the publication of the prayerbook is the cultination of four years of preparation, the original plan having been adopted by the Tenth Triennial Convention of the National Council of Jewish Women, held at St. Louis, in November, 1923, upon the recommendation of Mrs. Joshua Piza of New York City, who was then serving as Chairman of its Committee on Work for the Blind.
Mrs. Piza prepared the text of the prayerbook and presented the plates for the printing as a gift to the National Council of Jewish Women.
