The newly founded Bikur Cholim of Teaneck needs volunteers to visit Jewish patients in Teaneck's Holy Name Hospital on weekdays. A valuable free training workshop will be given in Teaneck for all volunteers.
Your commitment to this mitzvah will involve approximately 1 to 1.5 hours once a month at a time convenient to your schedule.
Please help us set up a rotation schedule by emailing back to me if you can participate in this beautiful mitzvah. Include your name, phone number, and available days of the week (Monday - Thursday).
