Former student Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, who used to work at Temple Beth Or of the Deaf in New York in the late 1970’s, was recently mentioned in the Hadassah Magazine. She is now in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she leads a hearing congregation of forty artists. She explains that she mixes New Mexico’s culture with other cultures. “Jewish people feel more at home with their tribal roots,” she explains. Since 1976, Gottlieb has been traveling around the world to share stores on renewing the spirit of Judaism. The article says she uses sign language, drumming and dance to convey the message.
