Emergency Phone Number

If you need to immediately consult with a Rabbi before making a decision concerning an actual case of organ donation then this is considered a medical emergency because you can save 8 lives.

First, try to contact Robby Berman by doing the following three things: call his US cell phone number 646-645-4637, send him an email at robbyberman@hods.org, and call his cell phone number in Israel at 972-52-527-5284.

In addition, the following Orthodox Rabbis have agreed to be contacted. Please note: If you are calling the Rabbi on Shabbat, or a Jewish Holiday, since this is a life saving matter the Rabbis are willing to answer your call.  You may need to call their phone numbers repeatedly so the Rabbi knows this is a medical emergency and he will eventually answer the phone. Please start by calling the Rabbis that are geographically closest to you (Country, State, and City).
