Foreword

In 1996, Temple Beth Solomon published the book: Celebrating Judaism in the Home: A Manual For Deaf Jewish Families with grant money from the Council on Jewish Life and the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles. Although our book is no longer in print, we plan publish portions of the book on our web site as a service to the many Deaf Jewish families who have asked us for material to enable all family members participate in the rituals and celebrations of Judaism in the home.

Here is the blessing over the Shabbat candles in sign language taken from Celebrating Judaism in the Home.
