A year and a half ago, a young father of nine managed to escape an attack from three terrorists. In appreciation for this gift of life, he just donated a kidney to save the life of a patient at Hadassah Hospital. The fortunate recipient is Benny, a 35-year-old chemist at the Hebrew University. Transplant surgeons Hadar Merhav and Abed Khalaileh performed the life-saving operation.
