The Gift of Organ Donation

Did you know that one organ and tissue donation can save the lives of up to 8 people and enhance the lives of up to 75 more? More importantly, did you know that all branches of Judaism support organ and tissue donation unequivically? Organ and tissue donation is one of the greatest mitzvot that any person can do. In honor of National Donor Sabbath, celebrated this Shabbat at Marlboro Jewish Center, Rabbi Pont spoke with Kelly Bonventre, Manager of Community Services for the New Jersey Share Network, along with real-life heart transplant recipient Alan Rogolsky about his journey through receiving this life saving miracle.
