Lital Valensi received one of the many organs the terror victim’s family donated after her death.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
Lital Valensi is one of seven people who began a new life following the murder of Lucy (Leah) Dee in a Palestinian terror attack last month, after her family donated her heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and corneas – respecting her wish to help others not only during her lifetime.
Upon hearing about the Passover attack in which Rina (16) and Maya (20) Dee were murdered in a drive-by shooting in the Jordan Valley and their mother Lucy was critically injured, the 51-year-old mother of two prayed that Lucy would recover, she told Ynet.
“When I heard that they were fighting for Leah Dee’s life, a righteous, 48-year-old woman, I didn’t dream that I’d get her heart. I didn’t connect this story to me,” Valensi said, adding that she hadn’t actually heard the news when Dee succumbed to her injuries.
“When I heard that I’m going to get her heart, I collapsed. I started walking in the house without air, I muttered, ‘I have a heart.’ I had two hours to get to the hospital.”
When she woke up from the surgery and half a day in intensive care under sedation, she couldn’t stop crying, she said. “For me to live, someone had to die. She didn’t die because of me, but it’s still hard. How much love does the Creator of the world have to give me the heart of such a woman? The power of this woman of grace, I feel it inside my body.”
Valensi was moved to tears when she saw Dee’s husband, Rabbi Leo Dee, on television at the beginning of the torch-lighting ceremony that marked the beginning of Israel’s Independence Day last week.
“I felt like something in my heart was moving, as if Leah felt [her husband],” she said. “It was an out-of-body experience. Every time I see him on TV, I cry.”
She feels that her connection with the Dee family is no coincidence, she added. “For example, the name on my ID card is Rina Lital, and Leah’s daughter, who was also murdered, was called Rina.”
When asked what she would like to say to the Dee family, she responded, “Leah’s children will always be part of my family. I want to spend holidays with them. They can be here every day, live with us. My mother went to their house during the shiva (mourning period). She showed her daughters my photos and bought them a gift with a personal dedication. They hugged my mother…. I have so much love to give. I wish we could be one family.”
Valensi had been waiting for a new heart for eight months, she said. Although she played sports, danced and had never smoked, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 heart failure four and a half years earlier, the most advanced stage of the disease. These patients, even while resting, continue to experience breathlessness and fatigue, and physical activity is rarely possible.
“Only 17% of my heart functioned. It was a miracle that I was even standing on my feet,” she said about the discovery. She was put on medication, had a pacemaker implanted, and was constantly going to the hospital for tests and medical procedures. But last fall, she almost fainted during a stress test and the doctors told her that the only solution was a new heart.
Valensi spoke to Petach Tikva News after her surgery and expressed her deep gratitude to the Dee family. “I wish for them that they know no more suffering. All that’s left for me is to comfort them,” she said.

“Unfortunately we are not able to comment further on the specific protective means and methods used to conduct our security operations at the White House,” said US Secret Service spokesman.
By Associated Press
The U.S. Secret Service said Monday it blocked a Muslim mayor from Prospect Park, New Jersey, from attending a White House celebration with President Joe Biden to belatedly mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Shortly before he was set to arrive at the White House for the Eid-al-Fitr celebration, Mayor Mohamed Khairullah said he received a call from the White House stating that he had not been cleared for entry by the Secret Service and could not attend the celebration where Biden delivered remarks to hundreds of guests. He said the White House official did not explain why the Secret Service had blocked his entry.
Khairullah, 47, informed the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations after he was told he would not be allowed to attend the event.
The group has called on the Biden administration to cease the FBI’s dissemination of information from what is known as a Terrorist Screening Data Set that includes hundreds of thousands of individuals. The group informed Khairullah that a person with his name and birthdate was in a dataset that CAIR attorneys obtained in 2019.
Khairullah was an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump’s travel ban that limited entry to the U.S. of citizens from several predominantly Muslim countries. He also has travelled to Bangladesh and Syria to do humanitarian work with the Syrian American Medical Society and the Watan Foundation.
“It left me baffled, shocked and disappointed,” Khairullah said in a telephone interview as he made his way home to New Jersey on Monday evening.
“It’s not a matter of I didn’t get to go to a party. It’s why I did not go. And it’s a list that has targeted me because of my identity,” he claimed. “And I don’t think the highest office in the United States should be down with such profiling.”
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed that Khairullah was not allowed into the White House complex, but declined to detail why. Khairullah was elected to a fifth term as the borough’s mayor in January.
“While we regret any inconvenience this may have caused, the mayor was not allowed to enter the White House complex this evening,” Guglielmi said in a statement. “Unfortunately we are not able to comment further on the specific protective means and methods used to conduct our security operations at the White House.”
The White House declined to comment.
Selaedin Maksut, executive director of the New Jersey chapter of CAIR, called the move “wholly unacceptable and insulting.”
“If these such incidents are happening to high-profile and well-respected American-Muslim figures like Mayor Khairullah, this then begs the question: what is happening to Muslims who do not have the access and visibility that the mayor has?” Maksut said.
Khairullah said he was stopped by authorities in 2019 and interrogated at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York for three hours and questioned about whether he knew any terrorists. The incident happened when he was returning to the United States after a family visit to Turkey where his wife has family.
On another occasion, he said he was briefly held at the U.S.-Canada border as he traveled back into the country with family.
The group said Khairullah helped the New Jersey Democratic Party compile names of local Muslim leadership to invite to the White House Eid celebration and over the weekend was a guest at an event at the New Jersey governor’s mansion.
Khairullah was born in Syria, but his family was displaced in the midst of the government crackdowns by Hafez al-Assad’s government in the early 1980s. His family fled to Saudi Arabia before moving to Prospect Park in 1991. He has lived there since.
He became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and was elected to his first term as the town’s mayor in 2001. He also spent 14 years as a volunteer firefighter in his community.
Khairullah said he made seven trips to Syria with humanitarian aid organizations between 2012 and 2015 as a civil war ravaged much of the country.
