The KC Shasha Centre for Talking News and Books
Jewish Care provides audio news, entertainment and talking books for people who find it difficult to read normal size print or those who find it hard to hold a newspaper or book.
We have built up an extensive range of over 1,400 talking books by Jewish authors, or with Jewish themes, including biographies and novels.
DOWNLOAD OUR CATALOGUE
We produce a 90-minute audio magazine, the award-winning Sounds Jewish, which includes interviews with newsmakers, personalities and features on Jewish history and festivals, similar to a Jewish radio programme. Another of our audio magazines, Jewish Extra includes articles from various newspapers and magazines around the world.
"Every year, over 100,000 talking books, newspapers and magazines are sent out."
The Jewish Chronicle
Every week we produce a recording of the weekly national newspaper, the Jewish Chronicle. You can hear it on our website- www.soundsjewish.org from 2pm every Friday afternoon or receive a 60-minute version on Daisy/MP3 CD. This includes much of the main news, the editorial, community, letters to the editor
