Rabbi Yeshayahu Haber (1965-2020), who founded "Gift of Life" kidney donor organization

Rabbi Yeshayahu Haber, who founded the Matnat Chaim ("Gift of Life") organization of kidney donors in Israel, has died of coronavirus. He was 55 years old.

YNet has the story:
הרב שהציל חיים נפטר מקורונה (Google Tranlate: The rabbi who saved lives died of corona)

Here's a story in English from Vos Iz Neias? (Yiddish: "What's New?")
Rabbi Yeshayahu Haber, Who Founded “Gift Of Life” For Kidney Donations, Passes Away From Coronavirus

and this from the Jerusalem Post:
'Gift of Life' founder Rabbi Haber passes away at age 55 due to COVID-19

"Haber's funeral will take place at 2 a.m. in Jerusalem. The public is asked not to come to the funeral procession."
GIFT OF Life: Matnat Chaim donors, 2016-2017.


Here are all my posts on Matnat Chaim, which recently recorded its 800th kidney donation.
