Israel's Chief Rabbinate allows Organ Donation

B"H

A highly controversial decision:


Not all Rabbis agree to this, as you can surely imagine !

Although organ donation saves life, what about the Techiat HaMetim
(Resurrection of the Dead) ? What if I am being resurrected without a liver or a heart ?

It says in the Talmud metaphorically that those being resurrected are going to be healed by the sun in case they suffer from a missing limb.

Donating organs is a difficult decision and you should have some counceling with our own Rabbi before making such a decision.
