He is he says, on a mission from God, Robert Berman鈥檚 lifelong campaign for organ donation to be permissible under Jewish/Talmudic law 鈥� Halacha 鈥� is at the centre of an ongoing debate in Israel. Berman, a Harvard University graduate, is striving to change attitudes to the donating of organs and possibly redefine the strict and ancient definition of death.

Berman has been referred to as 鈥渢he murderer鈥� as he continues to promote donor cards to this traditional community. Berman鈥檚 campaign has left him at loggerheads with Orthodox Rabbis, who view him with outright suspicion and as an outsider who wants to reform Talmudic decrees.

Lipika Pelham meets Berman in Jerusalem discussing his belief that the Torah promotes all selfless acts, including specifically consensual live organ donor ship.

She takes to the street of Jerusalem amongst the religious Jews to explore with the faithful their attitudes to donating and receiving organs and whether there is a chance that the rules over when a person is dead can be altered to make donation allowable under Talmudic law.
