Transplant survivor Nachman Shalit, left, of Tel Aviv meets for the first time Mordechai Kliger of Lakewood, N.J., who saved Shalit’s life by donating blood stem cells for a transplant facilitated by the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation, at the organization’s Sixth Annual Partners for Life Gala in New York. The Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation is internationally recognized for facilitating bone marrow, blood stem cell and umbilical cord blood transplants for patients around the world. Through targeted recruitment in Jewish communities, Gift of Life has significantly improved the chances that Jewish patients will find genetically matched donors for life-saving transplants.
