A Caring Compassionate Community:
Bikkur Cholim
Bikkur Cholim means "visiting the sick," but in practice it is so much more.
The Shul of New York is more than a Shul, more than a community; we are a family. The Shul's Bikkur Cholim initiative provides support to individuals and their families in several ways.
Our Bikkur Cholim volunteers:
-
Visit patients in local hospitals and nursing facilities
-
Visit people who are homebound
-
Make "check-in" phone calls to people
-
Deliver home-cooked or ordered meals to homebound individuals
-
Provide Shiva support

We need you! Bikkur Cholim is a high mitzvah but can only exist at the Shul through the good work of community volunteers. Can you find time in your schedule to:
-
Make a home visit to a person who is sick or elderly?
-
Make a hospital visit to a patient?
-
Make a call to check on a person from time to time?
-
Prepare, order or deliver a meal to a homebound person?
-
Be available to make shiva calls?
