Books To Coupons:
A Potpourri Of Judaica
ROSE KLEINER
Special to The Jewish News
V
arious Jewish institu-
tions offer a wide
array of services and
products to make Jewish liv-
ing the rich experience it is
meant to be. Some of the pro-
ducts and services are free of
charge.
B'nai B'rith Women has in-
troduced a program which ex-
plores the question of how
parents can transmit Jewish
values to their children.
"Creating Jewish Memories:
What Do We Pass To Our
Children" is a documentary-
style slide show. It features 12
men and women who describe
their Jewish memories, at-
titudes and conflicts, and
share photographs from their
personal collections.
They all seek to learn what
shaped their Jewish identity,
and to determine what values
they will pass on to their
children. The program en-
courages viewers to explore
their own Jewish memories
and values, and to produce
permanent records of their
Jewish memories.
The Jewish Braille In-
stitute of America has "Talk-
ing Books" on Jewish themes
on audio casette tapes, and
books and magazines in
Braille. They also have the
world's first five-volume

Books of Moses in large print.
The institute has recently
produced Braille menus and
a wine list for a Manhattan
kosher restaurant (Cheers).
The institute has brailled
menus for bar mitzvahs and
weddings. It has even braill-
ed ketubas (marriage con-
tracts) for blind couples'
weddings.
Materials and services from
the institute are provided free
of charge. For information,
