Special Program on the Halakhot and Jewish Ethics of Kidney Donation. Wednesday, June 17 at 8:30 pm in the Shul. Rabbi Joshua Sturm of Renewal will present the halakhot and Torah ethics of Organ Donation. Renewal is an organization that helps facilitate matching those in urgent need of a kidney with those willing and able to donate. Since we have in our own Kehillah someone in urgent need of a kidney, this program is timely and valuable. Renewal is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting people suffering from various forms of kidney disease. We are a multi-faceted proactive team that is dedicated to saving lives through kidney donation. Renewal is there for every patient and their family at every stage of the challenging journey towards health, providing many services to both donor and recipient. Special attention and detail is given to the kidney donors' needs. They strive to make the kidney donors' experience as smooth as possible and provide continuous support and guidance from the initial phone call throughout the kidney donation process.
