Ep. 53: The Rabbi Who Would Give Anything to a Fellow Jew — Even a Kidney

In Episode 53 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Aizik and Rebbetzin Musia Baumgarten, Chabad shluchim who give everything they’ve got to Jews in East Hampton and Montauk, Long Island. In the case of Rabbi Aizik, that meant giving a life-saving organ donation to Terri Davgin.

Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich and often surprising stories of Chabad shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.
