“The waves of Hurricane Sandy were followed, as we know, by wave upon wave of chessed. In Far Rockaway, the medical office of Dr. Hylton (Chaim Yitzchok) Lightman was swallowed by an eleven-foot storm surge and then spit out, an irretrievable jumble of destruction. Dr. Lightman has nonetheless maintained his practice and has been giving back to the community, both battered and blessed by the opportunities that have unfolded. His story — both pre- and post-Sandy — is an inspiring and multifaceted one.”



Dr. Hylton I. Lightman is a senior statesman amongst pediatricians, an internationally-recognized authority and diagnostician, a public speaker, expert witness and go-to resource for health issues in the Orthodox Jewish community.
