Well: In Israel, a New Approach to Organ Donation
One of the most agonizing spots in medicine is the âtransplant list.â When Iâve referred patients for organ transplant â heart, liver, kidney â it is the start of an anguished wait. The clock ticks for my patient as we watch her clinical status decline, all the while harboring that excruciating hope that someone will die soon enough to make an organ available. In the case of kidney donation, which can come from a live donor, it is the desperate hope that someone will decide to make this enormous personal sacrifice.

Ashkenazi Jews are not Khazars – Real Khazar Culture
26-08-2010 03:40 As a real Khazar from Chapaev, Kazakhstan I have heard of these lies that the Zionist Jews who occupy Palestine are converted Khazars and as a real Khazar I’m offended to hear this nonsense.

Strange Case of Daleds
The Anomolous Naming of A Hebrew Letter Ante-Semitic: This is how philologists believe âdaledâ evolved in Hebrew and other comparable languages. By Philologos Published January 22, 2012, issue of January 27, 2012. Reader Reuven Kalifon wonders why Ashkenazi tradition calls the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet âdaledâ even though its name is spelled ??-???-??
