Particularly exciting history took place yesterday (Sunday) at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, when Rabbi Elad Gadot, the rabbi of Negohot, donated a kidney to a man he did not know. This is actually a second organ donation made by the rabbi in his life.

This extraordinary story began some 13 years ago, when Rabbi Gadot's son, Elijah, when he was 8 years old, needed an immediate donation of a heavy rut. His father did not hesitate for a moment and donated one of his liver lobes. He probably also believed that his organ donation ended, but that was not the case.

Recently, Rabbi Gadot decided to make another altruistic contribution, mediated and assisted by the "Gift of Life" association. The rabbi underwent special tests to find out the possibilities for the donation, and finally a resident of Kiryat Malachi, also named Eliyahu, who needed a kidney donation after eight years of waiting and dialysis treatments.

Last night, Rabbi Gadot arrived at Beilinson Hospital, where he was transported by none other than his son, Elijah, who currently serves in the army. Moments before the operation, Rabbi Gadot and Elijah met, who needed a donation, and then began the life-saving procedure. "The fact that my brother donates two organs is unprecedented in Israel," Elad's brother, Rabbi Aviad Gadot, told Israel Today.

"We want to encourage more people to think and consider organ donation, each according to their needs," Rabbi Aviad Gadot said. "There are people who wait a long time to donate, and they can be helped and saved their lives. We hope and wish them both complete medicine, that everything will end well," he said.

Rabbi Yeshayahu Haber, head of the "Gift of Life" organization, posted an exciting message in his Facebook account announcing that it was the first transplant of its kind. "This is a very rare transplant. For the first time in Israel, a person donates two different organs to two people."
