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.”
