About the Project
During every Brit Milah, as we welcome a new life into the world, we offer a heartfelt prayer for the complete healing of the newborn and the mother. In this sacred moment, we reaffirm our commitment to upholding the mitzvah of bikur cholim, visiting the sick, for it is through such acts of compassion that we invoke God's blessings of renewal and restored health upon the family.
In addition to hospital visits, we also offer a place for families to stay near the hospital while caring for their loved ones. Our warm accommodations, conveniently located near medical facilities, offer a reassuring home-away-from-home, alleviating the burdens of travel and allowing families to focus wholly on supporting their loved one's healing journey.
Help support our vital work and become a partner in the great mitzvah of Bikur Cholim.
Bikur Cholim
Our Director
For over a quarter century, Rabbi Shimon Hecht has embodied the essence of bikur cholim – visiting the sick – as the devoted chaplain at Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn. With unwavering compassion, he tenderly cares for those suffering from illness, offering solace and spiritual fortitude. Rabbi Hecht's gentle presence and empathetic ear provide immeasurable comfort to grieving families during their most trying times, reminding them of the healing power of human kindness amidst suffering.
