For the first time in their lives, a group of Israelis who are both deaf and blind have been able to take a full part in a traditional Seder.

The occasion was a model Seder organised by the Beth David Institute in Israel, via its Centre for Deaf Blind Persons.

The dual condition of deaf blindness is growing in Israel via a genetic condition, Usher Syndrome.
