Thought people might like to see this! For those who can’t watch it right now, it’s Rabbi Leigh explaining his translation of Shema into ASL. He doesn’t translate it literally, and the video explains why. (He’s the second deaf Rabbi to lead a hearing congregation in all of the US! Also he’s a metalhead.) I think he’s super cool, and this video is definitely worth sharing.

Germany-based photographer Dai Lyn Power, aka Linda Dajana Krüger, recently sent us a series of photographs from her stunning new project titled “Real Prettiness.” The images shine a light on individuals living with Down syndrome, the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition that affects one in 800 births worldwide.

For more photos go here and see men and women diagnosed with Down syndrome as they wish to be seen — confident and in control of their own image.
