If you or anyone you know will be in St. Francis hospital, please don't hestitate to contact me to make the arrangements for use of the suite. In the words of one of our grateful visitors, Beatrice Hoffman, who benefited from the Mercy Medicual Bikur Cholim suite - “A hospital stay is always difficult, but a stay of over a month presents many challenges. To have a beautiful, comfortable room to sleep in on Shabbos, coffee in the morning and a refrigeratior for foood so that I am with my husband all of Shabbos is a sheer luxury. The establishments of these accomodatiosn is a true Chessed and greatly appreciated.”
On behalf of all who've been benefitting from these welcoming suites, I would like to extend a very big thank you to Reb Chaim & Tovah Brill for sponsoring the Bikur Cholim Suite, Yechezkel & Devorah Taitz for co-sponsoring the Library at the suite and the faculty at St. Francis Hospital for allocating space for the suite. It is through their generosity that we are able to expand our services and make this all possible.
Best Wishes for a Shabbat Shalom and only the best of health!
Rabbi Zalman Wolowik
Following the warm response we received last year to the Bikur Cholim suite we opened in Mercy Medical Center, we've successfully established another such suite in St. Francis Hospital. This suite will serve as a place of hospitality for family members and friends of hospital patients who need to stay over Shabbos or Yom Tov. Whether celebrating a birth or recovering from illness, the suite is open to all complete with a fully equipped kosher kitchen stocked with food and accommodations for at least four people. And believe it or not, we didn't forget the chulent. In addition, Tefillin and Tallit are available at the suite. |

Infinite Opportunity
Every moment, every human activity, is an opportunity to connect with the Infinite. Every act can be an uplifting of the soul.
It is only your will that may stand in the way.
But as soon as you wish, you are connected.

the parshah in a nutshell |
 |
|
|
Parshat Terumah
The people of Israel are called upon to contribute fifteen materials — gold, silver and copper; blue, purple and red-dyed wool; flax, goat hair, animal skins, wood, olive oil, spices and gems — out of which, G‑d says to Moses, "They shall make for Me a Sanctuary, and I shall dwell amidst them."
On the summit of Mount Sinai, Moses is given detailed instructions on how to construct this dwelling for G‑d so that it could be readily dismantled, transported and reassembled as the people journeyed in the desert.
In the Sanctuary's inner chamber, behind an artistically woven curtain, was the Ark containing the Tablets of Testimony engraved with the Ten Commandments; on the Ark's cover stood two winged cherubim hammered out of pure gold. In the outer chamber stood the seven-branched Menorah and the Table upon which the "showbread" was arranged.
The Sanctuary's three walls were fitted together from 48 upright wooden boards, each of which was overlaid with gold and held up by a pair of silver foundation sockets. The roof was formed of three layers of coverings: (a) tapestries of multi-colored wool and linen; (b) a covering made of goat-hair; (c) a covering of ram and tachash skins. Across the front of the Sanctuary was an embroidered screen held up by five posts.
Surrounding the Sanctuary and the copper-plated Altar which fronted it was an enclosure of linen hangings, supported by 60 wooden posts with silver hooks and trimmings and reinforced by copper stakes.
