Access your Jewish Heritage!

We believe that every Jew can! Every Jew, regardless of background or disability, should have access and the opportunity to participate meaningfully in Jewish life. We would like to help you gain a lifelong community and the ability to participate meaningfully in Jewish life, Mitzvos and learning.

Start with our Extra Large Print Jewish Calendar & Weekly Planner

Having a Jewish calendar is essential to participate in your religious and cultural life. It gives the dates and times for Shabbos candle lighting and Jewish holidays like Pesach and Rosh Hashanah, and notes Yizkor and other important observances throughout the year.

It serves as a symbol of your Jewish identity, connecting you to your history and community.

We are proud to offer this most unique calendar, designed especially for people with vision challenges. It also serves as a life organizer and weekly planner, with space for your appointments and the special dates you would like to remember.

The printed 5787 Extra Large Print Jewish Calendar & Weekly Planner: the front cover, with the Hebrew year תשפ״ז, 5787, 2026–2027 and the Jewish Heritage for the Blind logo, and in front of it an open week page for October 18 to 24, 2026, with each day in very large print, lined space to write, and Lech Lecha candle lighting times.

Lekavod Shabbos
Large Print Magazine – Published Weekly

Our popular and most unique printable Extra Large Print publication. It is emailed weekly as a PDF file of 24 pages of Extra Large Print stories, Torah and news, for your Shabbos reading enjoyment.

We encourage you to subscribe and print out the file weekly for yourself, for members of your congregation, or for a nursing facility, who will appreciate the easy-to-read format.

Should you not have access to a printer or email, we can reach out to your Rabbi, who can arrange to have it printed by a neighbor or by your shul’s office. It’s an easy mitzvah, and people are glad to help!

Our Publications
Large Print and Braille

Large print and Braille editions of the books at the heart of Jewish life — from Siddurim and Machzorim to Chumashim, Tehillim and children’s storybooks.

Each year we produce and distribute thousands of publications: Chumashim, Siddurim and Machzorim in various Nusachs, Haggadahs, Megillahs, Benchers, Zemiros and more. We try to focus our resources to publish items not available elsewhere. If we don’t make it, we can help you find it.

One shoe does not fit all, so let us set up a phone interview to see what best suits your needs.

What people say about us

A young man wrapped in a tallis, holding a lulav and esrog, reads from a prayer book held close to his face on a sunny balcony with palm trees behind him.

“Thank you for making Chag and every Shabbat so special for my son in law.”

— Mayer S., who sent us this photo

Thank you for the beautiful Siddur! My mother-in-law, who is 95, is so happy to be able to daven again, as she wasn’t able to read the regular print in her old siddur. May every word she prays be a zechus for your families and the organization.

— Mrs. Ruthi S., Brooklyn, NY

Without you I would not be able to daven. You deserve all the blessings from Hashem. Thanks so much!

— Bella G., NY

Since my husband had a stroke and Parkinson’s, he finds it very difficult to read. He truly enjoys the Siddurim sent to him. Thank you for your work and for providing these wonderful publications. It is really appreciated.

— Mrs. Aaron L., Brooklyn, NY
