A Caring Compassionate Community
Bikkur Cholim at The Shul of New York
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 will provide support to individuals and their families in several ways:
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
Are you in need of Bikkur Cholim services for yourself or a family member?
To request Bikkur Cholim support services for yourself or your family, please use the form below.
If your situation requires confidentiality, or if you prefer to speak to a rabbi first, please contact Rabbi Susan at rabbisusan@theshulofnewyork.org or 929-269-4382.
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?
If your answer is YES, please check the volunteer box on the form below and a Bikkur Cholim team member will contact you.
