High school seniors in the New York metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Connecticut, will unite this Sunday night, Feb. 17, at 8 p.m., for an advocacy training webinar with Neil Lazarus of Awesome Seminars, one of Israel’s leading educators and communication experts.

A dozen middle-aged to elderly Israelis, some blind, some deaf, some both, baking bread. It is not the most promising theatrical concept, but it works. Rabbinical students from Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and Yeshivat Maharat attended a recent performance of Not By Bread Alone at the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, staged by the Nalaga’at Theater, an Israeli company made up of the deaf-blind. It came towards the end of a week devoted to learning about disability.
