You and Zahava seemed to hit it off (as I knew you would) and I am looking forward to getting together for a shabbat sometime soon.</p>
<p>Simon... Whew, for a second there I thought you had posted a link to a video! :-) You should have totally said hello. I promise I don't bite.</p>
<p>Rabbi Sedley... Yeah, that happens to me all the time. The moment I take a few days off from my regular reads something memorable occurs and I end up totally out of the loop. Oh well, next time. As to the blood thing, I have heard several of my Brit friends make similar complaints. I haven't heard of anyone making any inroads towards a solution.</p>Rabbi Sedley commented on 'Public Service Announcements and Self-Promotion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503ed9db88332007-06-12T10:01:27Z2008-02-14T04:51:26ZRabbi Sedleyhttp://www.rabbisedley.blogspot.comAbout the blood donation: I lived in Britain for the past 8 years and gave blood every 3 months while...<p>About the blood donation: I lived in Britain for the past 8 years and gave blood every 3 months while there. Now I'm back in Israel they will not accept my blood (because of the risk of mad cow disease from having lived in Britain). I have tried explaining to them that I am a strict vegetarian and haven't eaten any mad cows, but they still don't want my blood. I don't care if they just use it for platelets or something, but it frustrates me so much that I can't give. Any suggestions anyone?</p>Rabbi Sedley commented on 'Public Service Announcements and Self-Promotion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55052634488342007-06-12T09:52:31Z2008-02-14T04:51:21ZRabbi Sedleyhttp://www.rabbisedley.blogspot.comI'm really sorry I missed the gig (I didn't check the blog since last week, and missed the ad by...<p>I'm really sorry I missed the gig (I didn't check the blog since last week, and missed the ad by a day).<br />
Did you make a video/ audio of it? Any chance of posting it on the blog?<br />
Hope it went well - you certainly had ideal weather for it. And I hope you made a ton of money for the Sudanese.</p>

<p>Sarah... I don't know about the video request, but I have posted an update (above) with the info for people who want to make a donation.</p>
<p>jennifer... Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Sorry I wasn't clear.</p>
<p>Sara K... I understand (this time!). :-)</p>
<p>Ilana-Davita... Kol HaKavod. I've posted an update (above) with all the info you'll need to make a donation. Thanks.</p>
<p>shmiel... You'd have some fun on this gig. Maybe next time. :-)</p>
<p>val... I'll ask Zahava to bring the camera.</p>
<p>Schvach... That's really neither here nor there. Israel has a long tradition of taking in refugees of tyrannical regimes and bloody conflicts. In the 80s and 90s most of the Chinese restaurants in Israel were staffed by former Vietnamese 'boat people' because Israel was among the first countries to take them in. I think this is a wonderful example of the example that Israel sets for the world. That most refuse to follow that example is not something that should affect how we conduct our national agenda.</p>
<p>Tim... Thanks. Wish you could have stopped by as well. :-)</p>
<p>ari kinsberg... Oy, a little perspective please. Let's weigh your relatively mild inconvenience against the potential disaster of Israel's blood banks running dry, mmkay? I think you'll have to realize that MDA is designed to take blood, not return forgotten IDs. While it would have been nice for someone to take the initiative to send you your license... it is not something that is in the normal scope of what they do there. Secondly, you are the one that forget the license... they didn't steal it or forget to return it to you... is that really worth raining on a reasonable request for people to give blood. Lastly, if you think about the transient nature of MDA's 'client base' and the temporary/make-shift nature of their work area... you are lucky it didn't get tossed out with the used rubber gloves and empty juice containers. Sheeesh!<br />

<p>sorry, but last summer all i got was heartache when i gave blood to mda before i left.</p>
<p>i gave them my driver's license as an id, and then i forgot to take it back. fine, my fault.</p>
<p>they had my contact information in america, but no one ever got in touch with me to notify me they had it. when i finally figured out i had left it at the mda building i called and had to fight with them to get them to mail it to me in america.</p>Tim commented on 'Public Service Announcements and Self-Promotion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e550525ff388342007-06-10T21:34:01Z2008-02-14T04:50:43ZTimhttp://terpening.typepad.comGreat post about the realities of life and death . . . and life.

of the Jewish State of Israel, I mean, politically - that is, once their lives have been straightened out after having recovered from their ordeal in Darfur. What do you think their kids will think of a Jewish State once they have achieved adulthood - friend or foe?</p>val commented on 'Public Service Announcements and Self-Promotion'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503ed8a388332007-06-10T16:37:20Z2008-02-14T04:51:15Zvalhttp://bogieval.blogs.com/valcentric/Linda & I wish we could be there - - perhaps some pics of those old guys?!! have fun!<p>Linda & I wish we could be there - - perhaps some pics of those old guys?!!<br />
