Israel will today break a world record of one thousand kidney donations in a decade! Sheri Moskowitz heard about a woman who underwent difficult dialysis treatments, and decided to donate her kidney. Her mother came to Israel to help her look after the children, so she decided to make a life-saving donation herself - and later the twin sister joined. Chairman of Matanat Chaim: "This is a revolution on every scale" The man behind the revolution Today (Sunday) there will be four altruistic kidney transplants in Israel by donors who donate an organ from their bodies to people they do not know and save their lives. The four will lead Israel to a place no country has reached before: a thousand altruistic kidney donations in the last ten years. The contribution of the millennium is especially moving in light of the fact that it takes place just one week from the first anniversary of the death of the founder of “Gift of Life,” the man behind the revolution who died a year ago from Corona. Rabbi Yeshayahu Haber himself was kidney transplanted and decided to dedicate his life to locating donors for his friends on dialysis. After seeing that he was successful in this, he set up an association whose whole purpose is to recruit kidney donors who will save the lives of dialysis patients. Until his death, 800 people donated kidneys, and since his death exactly one year ago, another 200 have donated kidneys, some in his memory. The association is now continued by his wife Rachel, who on the days of Shiva announced that her husband had passed away but the association would not cease its activities and she hired them for the job until the waiting list was eliminated. 39 years ago, the twins Sheri and Nava were born into the Moskowitz family. From that moment on, they went through a similar life path, growing up in the religious community in the West Hampstead neighborhood of New York, attending school together and living an almost common life. What they never imagined was that a day would come when they would both decide together to donate a kidney and an artist would also be part of the donation circle. Cherry currently lives in Israel, in Neve Daniel, and was actually the first to think of the idea to donate. "It was one day, when a message came to me from the locality's mailing list," she recalls. "It says that there is a friend of someone who is undergoing difficult dialysis treatments and needs a kidney. At that moment I thought to myself that I might be able to help her. After all, I am relatively young and in good health, so why not?" ?? IF YOU LOVE ISRAEL - SHARE NEWSRAEL! ?? Source: Walla News
