Jewish Deaf For Orthodox Union Weekend
Congregation Beth Jacob

Our Way of the South, an Orthodox Union program
for the deaf and hearing impaired, together with Congregation Beth Jacob
in Atlanta, is inviting Jewish deaf people and their families to a
Shabbaton (weekend) on November 12-13.
“The weekend promises to be an experience that is both informative and
educational,” said Rabbi Eliezer Lederfeind, the Director of
Our Way.
According to Rabbi Lederfeind, highlights of the weekend will include
the presence of Mordechai Weiss, the Deaf Scholar-in-Residence, and
Shaul and Joy Antar, the Deaf Couple-in- Residence.
Along with special programming, the Shabbaton will provide three
delicious meals and snacks; an interpreted synagogue service; a
beginner’s service; child care; and an opportunity to join together with
others from the deaf community to live and learn about Judaism.
