  Just to threadjack here... There is no language called "Jewish" in English.  (Although the word "Yiddish" does mean "Jewish" in Yiddish).  Jewish is the adjectival form of Jew, someone of that religion/ethnicity/culture (like me {;-)>  ).  There are many specifically "Jewish" languages -- Hebrew (about half dozen varieties evolved over the millennia), Yiddish (spoken by the Jews in Eastern and Central Europe), Ladino (spoken by the Jews in the Iberian peninsula), etc. But Jews can and do  (usually)  speak the majority language of whatever land they find themselves in.

   As for the project itself -- ah, well.  Guess that leaves me out of this new incarnation.  I'm no graphic artist.
