From Bokertzum, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Jay Feinberg, founder and CEO of Gift of Life Marrow Registry.

Jay shares the miraculous story that led to his founding a life-changing organization, discusses the importance of positivity in his life, and previews the exciting things happening at Gift of Life.
