Established in 2007 by Rebbitzen Edith and Dr. Rabbi Benjamin Sharfman, along with a dedicated group of members of the Jewish community, the Bikur Cholim of Cherry Hill is dedicated to the principle of providing comfort to those in need as a result of illness, disabilty, or age.
Members of the Bikur Cholim (or visiting the sick society) visit the sick in local hospitals, nursing and rehabilitation facilities, senior housing as well as those who are homebound to bring them joy, cheer, and solace. They also partake in many other projects to help those in need.
In partnership with local synagogues, Jewish educational programs, and other institutions within the greater Cherry Hill Jewish Community, the dedicated volunteers of the Bikur Cholim of Cherry Hill work tirelessly to identify and provide to those in need.
