Organ Transplants with Rabbi Dina Najman

Rosh Kehila of The Kehilah in Riverdale, NY, presents her lecture, "Withholding/Withdrawing Treatment of the Terminally Ill" before an audience at Temple Kol Ami (www.templekolami.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ.ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Pikuach Nefesh (saving a life), as well as kavod haBriyot (human dignity), are central principles in Jewish law. With 20th-21st century medical advancements, the possibility of taking measures to extend a person’s life is a reality. As a result, the Jewish value of preservation of life, even for a brief period of time, has the capacity to compete with the value of the sanctity of life and limiting suffering. When a patient is terminally ill, experiencing a great deal of physical and/or emotional pain, what does Halakha rule regarding withholding treatment?DONATE: bit.ly/1NmpbsPLEARNING MATERIALS: https://bit.ly/2DvJjq6For more info, please visit: www.facebook.com/valleybeitmidrash/ www.facebook.com/temple.kolami.9 twitter.com/VBMTorah www.facebook.com/RabbiShmulyYanklowitz/Music: "They Say" by WowaMusik, a public domain track from the YouTube Audio Library.
