We will continue to do our best to remain in touch with hospitalized members and/or their families as the current health crisis evolves. In-person hospital visits are not possible at this time and most area hospitals have stopped sharing their patient census information with us, at least for the time being. As a result, we are relying on our members to let us know if they, a loved one, or a friend has been hospitalized. Please contact
Rabbi Skolnik at 614-928-3297 or Rabbi Braver at 614-928-3294 with this information. Thank you for your help and patience as we continue to support each other through this very challenging time.
