radio frequency. Also for 
the rest of his life, there’s 
another special date on 
the calendar — the Klein 
family celebrates Yehuda’s 
“implant-versary” like a 
birthday because, for him, it 
was a whole new beginning.

ATTENDING SCHOOL
These days, Yehuda is 
enjoying a backyard day 
camp; he attends Yeshivas 
Darchei Torah in Southfield 
and will be starting first 
grade in the fall. 
Keren admits she worried 
at first that a private 
school wouldn’t be able to 
accommodate Yehuda’s needs, 
but was pleasantly surprised. 
“The staff rose to the 
occasion. We are blessed to 
have an amazing support 
team and, thankfully, 
Yehuda is thriving there 
with the support of a full-
time shadow/para.” 
Yehuda loves singing, 

running, jumping and 
roughhousing with his 
three brothers, Eliyahu, 
11, Sender, 9, and his twin, 
Pinchas, 7. There is nothing 
he can’t do. 
While playing like any 
other kid, he is not even 
aware yet that he’s an 
ambassador, paving the way 
for future children with 
cochlear implants in the 
community. 
Yehuda is often the first 
implanted child people 
in Detroit have ever seen. 
And while Keren and 
Yosef, like any parents of 
a child with special needs, 
do not appreciate when 
people stare at their son, 
they are eager to normalize 
cochlear implants, answer 
any questions and share the 
amazingness of it all.
“It’s really very cool,” 
Keren said. “We have this 
one in a million kid, a little 
miracle.”
