Bikur Cholim

The Rabbis teach us that visiting a sick person removes 1/60th of his or her illness. One is obligated to visit family, friends and non-Jews whether they are in the hospital or at home. The goal of the Bikur Cholim Committee is to extend our care and concern when anyone in our community is ill.

We check in daily at Sacred Heart Hospital, but it is possible we might miss some patients because not everyone identifies their religion when being admitted into the hospital and not everyone in our "family" (TBI community) is Jewish. Naturally, we want to support everyone's healing.

Please help us in fulfilling this mitzvah by contacting Bernie Maengen - chair of the committee, or the TBI office, if you know of someone who is in the hospital.
