Orthodox Jewish All Star, Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg, CNN Hero

Through his organization Kids Kicking Cancer, this Orthodox rabbi devotes his life to helping sick children – no matter who they are.

“30% of the children that we work with in Israel are Muslim children, we have the largest sickle cell program for children who are obviously coming from Africa, children who are rarely Jewish – but it doesn’t matter. They are all our children.”
