Bring a One-Day Seminar to your Community.

Based on our incredibly successful two-day seminar, we have designed a one-day regional seminar on organ donation and halacha. It involves presenters from your local community (Rabbis, Neurologists, Transplant Coordinators) and can be accredited for CME credits. Our first regional seminar was held in Toronto.

To bring a one-day regional seminar to your area please contact admin@hods.org or
