Judaism and Organ Donation: Issues and Answers (Zoom)

Join us for a community-wide virtual symposium on Judaism and Organ Donation

 100,000 people are dying. We can help. Though saving a life is a supreme Jewish value, many Jews pass on the opportunity to donate life-saving organs after death despite strong support for donation from ALL major denominations of Judaism. Why are we so hesitant? 

Join us for a community-wide virtual symposium
