A Message from BJBE Clergy
Dear Friends,
We write to you today with an urgent plea for help. One of the members of our BJBE family, Dr. Gary Greenberg, is in dire need of a life-saving kidney transplant from a living donor. Without a transplant, Gary is facing kidney-failure within the next 3-6 months. Unfortunately, not one of Gary’s immediate family members is a viable donor, which is why we are turning to you. It will take only one person who is both a match and a willing donor to save Gary’s life. You or someone you know could be that person. There are two things you can do to help:
1. Consider donating your kidney. If you are interested in the possibility, please call Northwestern Memorial Hospital at 312-695-0828 to obtain a Potential Donor Questionnaire or download the questionnaire from www.livingdonorlove.com website.
2. Spread the word. “Like” Gary’s Facebook page, learn more by visiting his website, and forward this e-mail to as many people as you can.
Please register for the 2014-2015 Preschool year now.
Over the course of this week, many of you have seen the moving videos and pictures that have been posted on Facebook by members of our BJBE Women of the Wall delegation. These images capture their time in Jerusalem, especially their powerful experience at the Western Wall on Rosh Hodesh with hundreds of other women who came to support religious pluralism.
