FD - Halacha
Familial Dysautonomia and Jewish Law, by Rabbi Yaakov Eizenbach
with help from our experts at the Hadassah Hospital Israeli FD Center, is
available in English and in Hebrew.
Since the day-to-day care of FD patients is complex and complicated, and
since many of the patients come from Orthodox Jewish
families, over the years we have had to deal with the halachic issues
arising from treatments carried out on Shabbat and festival days, and
other issues connected to the encounter of Halacha and medical
treatment. We turned to halachic authorities to consider the problems
relating to all aspects of this disease and to provide halachic
solutions.
Copies of the book can be purchased from the Dysautonomia Foundation. Call or email
us for details.
