Our Way/NJCD has announced a new Power Point version of the Megillat Esther reading. The reading, available through their office, can be used to accompany the reading of the Megillah on Purim. It can be projected onto a screen to enable deaf or hard of hearing individuals in a congregation to follow along while the Megillah is being read. It even comes complete with visual “sound effects” every time the name of Haman is read. The mitzvah of hearing Megillat Esther is a requirement of every Jew. Using this Power Point version will facilitate inclusion of deaf or hard of hearing individuals to be part of this mitzvah. It is available to every synagogue which is interested in including the deaf population into their services. For more information, please call the Our Way/ NJCD office at 212-613-8127 Voice.
