Bikkur Cholim means visiting the sick, and that is part of the responsibility of this Committee. Luckily, in the PJC congregation, most people are healthy, so the mitzvah of visiting the sick has been extended to visiting the elderly. We have several members of the congregation who have reached biblical ages! Our committee members visit each of these wonderful individuals, aa well as any other elderly congregants who would appreciate company on a regular basis.

Members of the PJC community who are ill, elderly or in need of company should contact Rabbi Schuck.  He will establish contact with the Bikkur Cholim committee which will in turn respond to the congregant’s needs. The committee will make regular home visits, hospital visits, and telephone calls.  In addition, we are available to help with other needs of the sick. For example, family meals while a parent is in the hospital.  The Bikkur Cholim committee is here to help the PJC community in times of need.
