| | Here then is how it's done. We use our right hand for reading. Going first, the pinky and then the ring finger of the right hand are laid in the space above the particular line to be read and then these two guide the hand rightwards . That's right! Even though Hebrew in its printed form is read right to left, that is leftwards, Hebrew Braille is willing to go the other way. At this time, then, the index finger is laid gently..very gently.. on the configuration of the six bumps to be known. For weeks, it will feel as if the index finger has been placed on the back of a caterpillar, producing a sensation of combined raw sensitivityand prickliness. But Braille does have the ability to sensitize us properly teaching us to "see through our finger", and in but from a few months to two years, each bump in concert with his fellows, have conquered us- and we are found reading! | | Here then is how it's done.
