LONDON, UK — With his dark-blue uniform, earpiece and walkie-talkie, Nochem Perlberger could pass for a police officer as he patrols the leafy streets of London’s Stamford Hill neighbourhood. Like an officer of the law, he responds to emergency calls, visits crime scenes and pursues suspects.
However, he is a member not of the constabulary but of the Stamford Hill Shomrim Rescue Patrol, a group of Orthodox Jewish men who, for the past two years, have been “policing” the streets of their community in Hackney.

The kidney donor and its recipient.
BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — Leah is a young and vibrant wife and mother living in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Aliza is a middle aged grandmother of twenty six living in Bnei Brak.
