Pikuach Nefesh Shabbat: Organ Donation & Social Justice

Friday, January 31, 2025    
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Speaker: Rabbi Joshua Rabin, Community and Government Affairs Liaison, LiveOnNY  

Across the United States, more people need lifesaving organs than are available from organ donors. To make matters worse, issues surrounding organ donation parallel many of those related to inequality and structural racism. This session will examine organ donation through the lens of social justice and how better understanding can help decrease the waiting list and further social equity.
