Yehuda Klein

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 fulltime 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.”
