Memorial Demonstration in Remembrance of Shmuel Katz R.I.P.

For related articles, click:

On Monday evening Jan. 9th, 2006, I stood outside of the Hagana Train Station in Tel Aviv, near its entrance. During the previous half hour, there was light rain, but thankfully rain stopped altogether before the demonstration itself began.

A month ago, Shmuel Katz, a deaf-blind man, was killed in this train station in a train accident. The root cause of the accident was lack of accessibility of information to people, who are blind, deaf or deaf-blind.

Contact Information for Israeli Deafness Related Organizations

For related articles, click:

Introduction

This Web page was created because I do not know of any place having a list of contact information for Israeli organizations in English for the benefit of visitors from abroad.

The Hebrew language list of organizations exists in http://www.hearing.org.il/. To find the list of organization, you have to navigate through "kehila" and then "reshimat irgunim", as there is no direct URL to the relevant page due to the Web site design.

If you are deaf tourist, who is planning to visit Israel, you may want to check also Information for deaf tourists to Israel. If you are a Language interpreter, social worker, English language teacher or another professional catering to deaf persons: I plan in the future to add a page with information which would be relevant to you. For the time being, use the contact information in this Web page.

List of Organizations

If what you are looking for is not provided by one of the above organizations, check the FAQ, and if you do not find there answer to your question, E-mail me.
