3. Making reservations
I am trying to reach the blind museum to make reservations for two. I am planning a trip to Israel in two weeks and I would like to see the blind museum. I've never been there. The phone number I am dialing from America is 011-972-3-650-3000. I reach a Hebrew recording. Can you please tell me how to reach the museum from New york and get an English speaking person?
Thank you.

4. This museum needs to check their facts
This seems ridiculous. As a blind teenager living in the US I hold nothing in common with the stereotypes mentioned in this article. To think that our lives is somehow lessened because of the lack of sight. What this museum probably didn't show you is all the technologies available or how to propperly use your cane refered to as the stick in this article. Blind individuals use independence skills to navigate the world around us. We are not constantly running into things as this tour makes it seem. In addition, eating does not include using ones hands rather than a utensil. It is places like this museum that further these stereotypes about blindness and appalls me because it has such a 17th century outlook on blindness. What is so amazing about these blind bar tenders and waitors? Why is there no mention of blind doctors, engineers, and lawyers, which there are plenty. This is what people should think about when they enter this museum.

6. Open more such great educational exhibits
The exhibit of darkness and interacting with a deaf person was incredable. Why don't they have this in New York, LA or for that matter in Jerusalem. There is so much to "see" and "hear" and teach. More such exhibits would be an excellent tool to educate the world about judaism. This could be perfect for a Jewish school or Kiruv organization. This exhibit in Holon had 80,000 people visit in one year and over a million visitors in total.
The message of breaking down barriers between classes and types of people is very powerful.
Why did God cause darkness in Egypt? Could it be a last chance to repent and a time to rethink.
