\"pr“As those who are involved in chessed, the world exists in your merit,” so said Maran Rosh Hayeshiva Rav Aharon Y. L. Steinman shlit”a<\/i> to the guests at a gala dinner at the Tel Aviv Hilton to benefit Ezer Mizion, one of Israel’s largest chessed <\/i>organizations.<\/p>\n

Headed by Rabbi Chananya Chollak, Ezer Mizion does tremendous work, providing families dealing with a spectrum of health challenges with assistance and relief and enveloping them in a comprehensive network of medical and support services.<\/p>\n

The dinner program<\/a> included a moving surprise encounter that took place between a stem cell donor and the patient whose life he saved. The donor-patient match was made by Ezer Mizion’s Bone Marrow Donor Registry that works with transplant centers in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n

The person who stepped up to the podium at the dinner spoke emotionally of how he was struck with cancer several times, and his life was saved by a bone marrow donation<\/a> through the Bone Marrow Registry founded by Ezer Mizion, the largest Jewish Registry in the world. \"prThe donation, he said, came from an anonymous donor, whom he never met.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, a figure stood up in the audience. It was the donor himself.<\/p>\n

A thrill of excitement rippled through the audience, and their eyes welled with tears at the emotional scene as they watched the donor and his recipient embracing warmly for long moments.<\/p>\n

The recipient tried to speak, but he choked on his tears. All he could say, again and again, was “Thank you so much, you saved my life – thanks to Ezer Mizion.”<\/p>\n
