Hey there, I'm gay and until recently was a student at Gallaudet. I'm hard-of-hearing, but I prefer ASL to spoken English, especially as my audiogram gets worse. My favourite professor was also gay told me all his boyfriends, hearing and deaf, signed...however, he did assure me that there are...

Hello, I am curious about Gallaudet's Jewish community and services. I am desperate to live a frum (religious) Jewish life and unfortunately Gallaudet's housing rules do not allow me to keep kosher easily without becoming vegetarian OR keep Shabbat/Yom Tov. I am wondering what sort of...
