Rabbi Sholom Raichik from Gaithersburg, Maryland, has exemplified the Jewish value of saving a life, or pikuach nefesh, by donating his kidney to a woman in need. This act of selflessness highlights the significant role of compassion and community service within Jewish values and teachings. Rabbi Raichik, who is recovering from the surgery, is asking for prayers for his own swift recovery and for the health of Leah, the recipient of his kidney. His altruism serves as an inspiring example of putting faith into action and fostering connections, even among strangers.
