Arab-Jewish Heart Transplant

Prof. Jacob Lavee, director of Sheba's Heart Transplant Unit, stars in a new documentary film called "Heart Brothers" that tells the extraordinary tale of a soldier killed in uncertain circumstances, and the recipient of his heart - an Arab student from Ibillin. "As I'm standing there in the operating room, about to do the heart transplant, there's a moment when I'm holding the Jewish heart in one hand and the Arab heart in the other, and I look down and suddenly it occurs to me, ‘there's no difference between them,'" says Lavee.
