Rabbi Dovid S. Polter, Community Chaplain
To Our Nurses and Social Workers
It is a mitzvah to publicize those who perform virtuous deeds.
We are in the third year since Covid has forced us to become more resilient. Around the globe, people have done all they could to protect themselves and their families.
I want to take this opportunity to deeply acknowledge our dedicated nurses and social workers for weathering the overwhelming Covid storms for all those dear seniors under their care.
Their work has been enormous and the energy they exerted is truly remarkable.
There are two select caregivers who are mentioned in the Torah, Shifah and Puah, the sister and mother of the great leader Moses. They were tender, caring, and forthcoming in serving the people. Their names denote their love and skillful care that they so beautifully applied to those for whom they cared. Shifrah and Puah mean “to cry” and “to coo” with the patient.
You, our precious nurses and social workers, have been on the frontline battle grounds, fighting this pandemic. We acknowledge, praise, and recognize your self-sacrifice for those whom you are serving. Often you took charge with little notice, and much was asked of you.
May you and your families be blessed. May your generous deeds laud you and grant all your needs in a most bountiful manner.
