Tzivia's TiSCH - Jewish books for hospitals
Donation protected
When my mother in law recently took ill, my wife and I were surprised that the interfaith chapel in the large city hospital she was in did not include any Tehillim (Hebrew Psalms), Siddurim (Jewish prayer books,) or chumashim (Hebrew Pentateuchs).
In my mother in law's memory, we would like to buy these books and distribute them to any hospital that desires them throughout North America for the benefit of their Jewish patients.
Her Hebrew name was Tzivia. "Tisch" is an acronym for Tehillim, Siddurim and CHumashim. It is also Yiddish for "table" or "celebration."
In phase 1 of the project, I will use social media to both fundraise and to find hospitals that want to participate. If things go well we can make it more formal.
I estimate that the cost is about $200 per hospital chapel for two sets of each three volumes, so phase 1 will be able to offer these volumes to about 25 hospitals.
I will work with major Jewish publication companies to find the best discounts on these books so we can distribute them to more hospitals.
