Physical or Mental Illness

Pastoral Support

Please let our clergy team know if you or a loved one are ill, undergoing surgery, or are in need of pastoral support. We are here to offer regular check-in calls, visit you at home or in the hospital, or meet for counseling sessions at Beth El. Please contact our clergy team at clergy@bethelnr.org or 914-235-2700 so that we know to be in touch.

Misheberach (Prayer for Healing)

Each time we read from the Torah, our community offers prayers for healing on behalf of anyone in need of physical, spiritual, or emotional healing and support. If you would like to add a name to this list, please contact our clergy team at clergy@bethelnr.org or 914-235-2700 with the English and Hebrew name of the person you would like to add. Any name added to this list will be automatically removed after one month. Please contact the clergy if you would like the name to remain after a month has passed.

Bikkur Cholim (Visiting the Sick)

In addition to clergy support, you can also receive visits and calls from fellow community members through our Bikkur Cholim committee of volunteers. Please contact Rabbi Zachary Sitkin at zsitkin@bethelnr.org or 914-235-2700, ext. 338 to be connected with one of our volunteers.
