During times of illness or personal struggle, our clergy provide spiritual support, hospital visits, and healing prayers. Whether you or a loved one are in need of comfort, we are here to offer guidance and strength.
One of the central Jewish prayers for those who are ill or recovering from illness or accidents is the Misheberach. The prayer takes its name from two words: “mi” and “sheberach” meaning, “the One who blessed.” It asks that the One who blessed our ancestors bring about a complete healing for the person for whom the blessing is said. On Shabbat and festivals, we offer the Misheberach prayer for those in need of healing (physically & spiritually).
One of the great roles that a congregational community can play in the lives of its member families is providing a place to turn to in times of difficulty, trial, or illness. Here, as in many other areas of life, the old saying has it right: “It is better to give than to receive.”
Ezrat-Am is the “Caring Committee” at Congregation B’nai Israel. They provide assistance to members who are going through difficult times in a variety of ways.
If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please give us a call in the office at 561.241.8118. You can also contact clergy in complete confidentiality.
