* New participants are welcome to join this program at the second session, April 29. *

Have you ever wanted to know more about the mitzvah of bikur cholim (visiting the sick)?  This four-week program will help you feel more comfortable and knowledgeable when visiting people who are sick.  Topics include "do's and don'ts" of visiting, emotional support, Jewish resources, and confidentiality.

We have invited trainers from the Jewish Healing Network of Chicago to run a bikur cholim training program at Rodfei on four Sunday mornings–April 22 and 29 and May 13 and 20–from 10:30 to noon.  They like to have a least ten participants to make the training work well, so please join us and bring friends.  The training is open to anyone in the Hyde Park Jewish community.

For more information or to sign up, contact Cathy Bowers through the synagogue office.
