RKYHS Students Hear From Two-Time Organ Donor

RKYHS students heard from Rabbi Ephraim Simon, director of Chabad of Teaneck. The father of nine children traveled to the Cleveland Clinic to donate his liver’s left lobe to someone he’d never met—a young husband and father who was gravely ill. This altruistic act is remarkable on its own, but Rabbi Simon also donated a kidney to a stranger in 2009. Rabbi Simon is the third person at the Cleveland Clinic to have ever made a liver donation after also donating a kidney, a high risk procedure. Rabbi Simon’s inspirational talk, discussed these selfless acts and his experience in saving these two lives.
