Post-retirement
Nemeth continues to be active, continuing to work on the Nemeth code. Nemeth has been active in the Jewish community since childhood, and since his retirement from academic mathematics he has been transcribing Hebrew prayer books into Braille.
Dr. Nemeth is an active member of the National Federation of the Blind. He has written several short stories and made speeches for the NFB about his life as a blind mathematician. On February 11, 2006, Nemeth suffered a massive heart attack and is currently recovering. He was well enough to attend the July 2006 NFB convention and accept the 2006 Louis Braille award which the organization gave him. On July 9, 2009, he was honored by the NFB as a co-recipient of the Dr. Jacob Bolotin award.
