From the vision of Isaiah · Isaiah 35:5

“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.”

אָז תִּפָּקַחְנָה עֵינֵי עִוְרִים, וְאָזְנֵי חֵרְשִׁים תִּפָּתַחְנָה.

From cars that "see" the road to devices that read for the blind – a Jerusalem mind opening eyes.
