Samuel Landau, who spends about 15 hours each week sorting through letters, counseling deaf singles and matching them for the Jewish Deaf Singles Registry (JDSR) reports that the ‘Meet a Mate Week’ event held in early June at the Jewish Community Center in Wilmington, Delaware to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Israel went well. “We had the BBQ in honor of Israel’s 50th anniversary”, says, “…had an award presentation for one board member who has been involved with the JDSR, and the singles played volleyball which was fun. There will be an upcoming event on September 1 3th which is strictly for Jewish Deaf singles (hard of hearing … secular, reform, conservative, orthodox … divorced if they have a get…). We would be happy to send out applications to any Jewish single who want to be on the current list of personal ads. We are trying to have more singles registered so that the pool can be larger and can help someone find a partner.” For information, e-mail to Landau at Samuellandau~juno.com or write to JDSR, P.O.
