Monday, May 5th, marked the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the beautifully renovated Chesed 24/7 Hospitality Room at New York Presbyterian Hospital’s Weill Cornell Medical Center, one of the top-ranked medical centers in the country. The room, located on the second floor, provides a reprieve from the whirlwind of hospital chaos for thousands of cholim who frequent this hospital each year
The new kosher Hospitality Room is dedicated in loving memory of Mr. Jack M. Gindi by his wife Debbi, and children, Eddie and Renee. It serves as a testament to Mr. Gindi’s care for his community and constant acts of chesed, allowing patients and their families to enjoy kosher food and respite at any time of day or night, including Shabbos and Yom Tov.
Cornell’s kosher Hospitality Room in one of Chesed 24/7’s 16 rooms, in hospitals such as Columbia Medical Center, Mount Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Special Surgery and Lenox Hill. The room features state-of-the-art appliances, tasteful furniture and everything someone might need while stuck in the hospital. It is fully stocked with all kinds of food and drink including cake, coffee, juice, snack bags, soups, fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, crackers, etc. This room will act as a “calm within the storm” for many families dealing with extremely difficult medical diagnoses, and the strain and exhaustion that comes with it.
Chesed 24/7 would like to thank the Gindi family for their generous support and sponsorship of the beautiful new Hospitality Room. May it only be used for simchos!
