Giving Jewish thanks as part of ‘Bikur cholim’

This time of the year is always good for caring for the sick, the hospitalized and the homebound, bringing them soups, casseroles and, yes, even a blessing cake as part of a Jewish tradition to help heal.
“Bikkur cholim” (“visiting the sick”) is a mitzvah and a comfort to others. The Hebrew words serve as a testimony of the Jewish tenets of caring, compassion, devotion and the incentive to heal. Credit: Pixabay.
