I recently spent 24 hours in Columbia-Prebatyrian (sorry I can’t spell)Hospital with my daughter. I want to publically thank the Satmar Bikur Cholim and the Chesed of New Square (New Square B.C.) for their amazing work.
The Chesed of New Square maintains a Bikur Cholim room in the hospital. 24/7 there is coffee, tea, cake, sandwiches, yoghurts and so much more available. There was also children’s and adult’s books and sphorim and sedurim (askenaz and sfard!). I can’t tell you how great it made me feel to be able to get something to eat.
The Satmar Bikur Cholim sent 2 amazing meals. I don’t even know how they knew we were there, but Monday afternoon, after the worst was over with my daughter (Chasdai Hashem!) an amazing woman knocked at the door and brought us food! When my daughter was finally able to have liquids, she had this delicious, homemade soup. It was mamish mechayai masim!
On an interesting note, there was a very nice nurse who told me that she worked in Beth Israel hospital for many years, and she couldn’t help noticing the difference between the reaction of the frum patients as opposed to the secular patients in sad cases as we faced. She said the frum people were more accepting of the bad. This made for faster emotional recovery.
The Rebonon Shel Olam should send all His children a good year filled with health, nachas, simchos, parnassa and Mosiach b’korov!
