Lecture on Organ Donors

Tomorrow night (wednesday, September 24, 2008) at 8pm, there will be a lecture at the Glenwood shul in Hashmonaem. The topic is the halachic issues related to organ donorship and transplants.

As you probably know, out son Asaf has been told that he needs a kidney transplant. To our complete surprise, there have been a number of people from our community who have stepped forward to be tested as potential donors. I cannot tell you all how meaningful it is, particularly during the month of Elul, to know that our neighbors care enough about their fellows to literally offer a part of themselves. In my mind, there can be no bigger form of tzedakah. Each and every one of those people deserve the best that Hashem can provide.

We look forward to seeing you at the lecture tomorrow night.

Thank you,

Elliot and Leiah Jaffe

A change of pace (Kidney Failure)

I have been trying to keep this blog focused on hospitality and food. God though has other plans for his creations and I find now that I will have to expand the scope to cover new topics. I'll try to continue blogging about my menus and our guests, but expect more posts that have little or nothing to do with food. In February of this year, My second oldest son, Asaf was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure. Simply put, both his kidneys are damaged and scarred from some infection or defect that happened years ago. They will likely cease to function sometime within the next six months. The good news is that there is no immediate danger to his life. Kidney Dialysis is a viable option and can maintain his health for up to ten or more years if necessary. Unfortunately, the process is not easy and there are potential side effects. Given Asaf's generally excellent health and age, Kidney Dialysis is considered only a stop-gap measure and not a long term solution. The best solutio...

Pesach 5768 (2008) Overview

Pesach is just around the corner and preparations are already underway. Our current guest list includes 7 gentlemen from a post-high school yeshiva program and two young ladies. Our total count stands at 17 for all five meals. My wife and family are already working on cleaning the house. Some of the dry goods purchases have been completed, and now we are looking at the protein purchase (butchers bill) and the fresh produce. To get the process started off on the right foot, we are making menus. In the general way of things, I expect these menus to change over the next 10 days. Yet, I want to keep them online and get your input. Do you think they are too light, too heavy, or just plain not enough for our hungry guests? Let us know! There are five major meals that we need to prepare. Friday Night Dinner Early Shabbat Lunch (which must be eaten before 9:30am and that needs to include bread) Shabbat Lunch (around 1:30pm, that cannot include bread or matzoh) Seder Dinner First Day ...

Family, Friends and Guests

Another week, and this Shabbat is going to be busy. We have four guests from NCSY who are in Israel for a summer program. They will be eating dinner with us, but eating lunch with the rest of their group. My sister and her family are coming over from Alon Shvut. Her husband works with groups from the states during the summers and is almost never home for summer Shabbatot. To top it off, we have a few friends who are temporarily alone. Their wife or husband is away for Shabbat. They will add some flavor to tomorrow's lunch. Menus are pretty simple this week. All stuff I've made before. I'm in a bit of a rut, partially because the vegetables this year are less plentiful than last year. Its a shmita year and even though we hold heter mechira, there is just less good produce. Partially, its because I need some ideas. I havn't read a new cookbook in while. I'll try and review some old ones this weekend. I've talked to professional chef's who go throu...
