BoruchW:

This is not pathetic. Please stop criticizing our gedolim.

Also, get your facts straight. If you had actually bothered to read the letter, you would see that one of the intended recipients is from Toronto, ON. Last time I checked, it was a good 550 miles from Lakewood to Toronto.

May we never know of such illnesses.

To All the Chosuve Posters on the article and all over the site:

There are many people who are NOT Ohavei Yisroel who Google the word Lakewood to find what the heimisha are saying .

Please Please use your sechel when posting…..Would you want it in an lengthy article about OUR attitudes in the Asbury Park Press or NYT?

Please THINK before you post a comment. This is not a private shmooz. it is open for all the world to see, and your comments will be visible to anyone (!) for a long long time. You have NO IDEA who is reading what we say and is just looking for an opprtunity to quote us out of context.

Around 5 years ago they had a similar drive in Lakewood. A few months ago I got a call that I might be a match, and after further testing (a blood test done in local lab) I was indeed a match. The whole process of donating stem cells was just a few shots, a few days of uncofortableness, and going to a hospital to draw the stem cells (2 days – 3 hours each day attached to a machine ).
I still have no idea to whom I donated the stem cells, I don’t even know if he’s a yid (most probably he is), but the statistics say that anyone who is in the situation that they need the transplant, if they don’t receive one. they have less than a 15% chance of surviving! (sometimes when they are desperate, they do a transplant from someone who is not a perfect match…)
