I've touched more than once on our strategy for inviting people months in advance for Sabbath meals.
One element that is challenging, for some, is the "no gifts" (or 'restricted gifts') policy.
Well, the other day, about one year after I received a can of WD-40 from the Lustman family, I had occasion to use it.
It solved a big problem.
And I thought of them.
Appreciated their foresight.
And fondly remembered our meal together.
How's that for a gift that keeps on giving?
