Illness affects the entire family. Our mission is to make sure no one faces it alone.
Guided by the Rabbanim of the Rabbinical Council of Bergen County, Bikur Cholim Bergen County unites volunteers from Teaneck, Englewood, and surrounding communities to provide food, lodging, and support for patients and loved ones at local hospitals.
We proudly facilitate the mitzva of Bikur Cholim, partnering with families to ease the burden of illness with sensitivity and compassion.
“Just as G-d visits the sick, so too must we visit the sick.”
