The Sages teach that when one visits the sick one sixtieth of the illness is removed. As one of the greatest acts of kindness and selflessness we learn this Mitzvah from G‑d Himself when the Torah relates his visit to our Forefather Abraham on the third day of his circumcision.

 

Chaplaincy

 

As Chief chaplain of Chabad of South Broward, Rabbi Joseph I. Korf is personally responsible for the spiritual comfort of Jewish patients in Memorial Regional and West.

 

Materials & Hospital Arrangements

 

HCS Chabad on a regular basis visits Jewish patients in the hospital. While visiting the hospital representatives distribute a "Get Well Kit" that contains Shabbat Challah, get well card and “The Community” publication to patients in the attempt to cheer them up.

 

Blessings

 

As part of our spiritual chaplaincy we obtain the Hebrew names of the patients so that we may request for a blessing of healing at the Torah reading on Shabbat.
