The Chesed Circle –Bikkur Cholim

(visiting and aiding the sick, and providing family support)
 

The purpose of the Chesed Circle is to reach out with acts of loving kindness and to give support for healing at times of medical or emotional difficulty. The circle includes all members of the B’nai Or community. Given the nature of life, at various times any member may be a recipient or provider of chesed.
 

In practical terms, the types of help include:

• Visits and companionship either at home or while in the hospital

• Offering support by email, phone, or sending cards

• Transportation to medical appointments

• Transportation to services

• Shopping for food or bringing meals into homes 

• Forming healing circles

• Networking to find physicians and medical information

​​

The Chesed Circle has a team of coordinators who should be contacted when a need arises. These individuals will help you by discussing what you would prefer in terms of assistance and doing outreach to your tribe or the entire community.
