Jaffe in Brooklyn from Russia

Classification: Query
My Great-great grandparents were Aaron and Gittel Jaffe from Shklov/Mogileve/Belorussia/Russia. They had 7 children: Adla (the olest), Joseph (born in 1910 in NY), Chana, Ester, Shale, Lazar (Eliezer), and Meyer. Joseph arrived to the US first around 1906 and brought his family to NY as he worked and earned money. Adla came to Ellis Island with her husband and about 6 children, but were turned away b/c her husband was blind. No one can remember Adla's husband's name. My great-grandmother was Ester Jaffe. She arrive to the US on Nov 7, 1907 at the age of 18. Her brother Joseph paid for her ticket. They resided in Brooklyn. Ester married Harry Schleifer who arrived in 1910 and was sponsored by Ester's brother.
