CSB’s Team

Rabbi Nachum Lehman is founder and director of CSB CARE. He has devoted his life to helping people with disabilities acquire or regain their ability to daven, learn, teach and be independent and productive members of their community. It all started in 1996 when he was asked to write a program to help someone continue learning after he lost his sight. The project was extremely successful and Rabbi Lehman came to realize how many others needed similar assistance. The original software evolved into a program for low vision and reading impaired clients and was further configured to help with communication for ALS clients.  Today Rabbi Lehman’s advice and technical expertise is sought after by eye-tracking professionals around the world.
Rabbi Aryeh Shuter manages all Braille (embossed and electronic) and large print production at CSB CARE. He offers invaluable insight into clients’ needs ensuring their successful use of the requested materials. Hundreds of clients rely on his expertise, attention to detail and hard work to get their siddurim, chumashim, daf yomi, school materials and everything in between.
