Meet Robin Berlin, a dedicated Bikur Cholim volunteer whose warmth and compassion bring light to patients at Greenwich Hospital. A lifelong New Yorker, Robin grew up in Queens and now lives in Rye Brook with her husband. A practicing attorney with deep roots in the Jewish community, Robin brings her rich life experience and heartfelt empathy to every visit.
Inspired by Rabbi MJ Newman—who once comforted her family during a difficult time—Robin began volunteering with JFS's Bikur Cholim program after feeling the need to give back. Her visits aren’t just check-ins—they’re connections. Whether reminiscing about Jewish holidays or simply sitting beside someone who feels alone, Robin reminds each patient that they are part of a community that cares. Through her weekly visits, she has formed bonds with fellow volunteers, rediscovered the power of community, and found a deeper appreciation for connection.
JFS is holding a Bikur Cholim training session this fall—a meaningful way to give back and be there for others when they need it most. Contact Jayme Schneider if you are interested!
