Rabbi, Muslim Agree for a Cause

Rabbi Boruch Wolf wrote the following:

So, today I have received a new request for a kidney for Rachael, a 27-year-old woman from Smithtown, NY, who is in urgent need of a kidney. Being that the girl isn’t a candidate for dialysis, and thus her life is in imminent danger each day that passes without receiving a new kidney, I felt an urgency to get the flyers up and running immediately.

The designer did a terrific job in generating the flyer in ten minutes and then I emailed it to my printer. It’s 4:00 PM and printers close at 5:00 PM. The printer calls me right back and said the machine isn’t turning on, he had no idea why, so I should try a competitor. So after a quick consultation with Professor Google, I found a competitor. They graciously agreed to do it in record time.

I get to the shop to pick up the order an hour later and the worker doing the printing, who happens to be a Muslim from Dubai, mentions that his 21 year old sister in law was just hospitalized and was told that she needs a new kidney. As a matter of fact, as we were speaking, they were doing a procedure on her to install a port for dialysis.

At this point, I felt that I had some insight on why the machine by the other printer wouldn’t start. I felt that the young Muslim woman should get a second chance on life from her husband (if possible), so I had the guy connect me with his brother in law and I explained the procedure and how minimal (relatively) of a surgery it is, and what a great honor it would be for him to save the life of his young wife.

Nothing happens by accident. Every encounter is ordained by Divine providence. #‎AllLivesMatter.
