Kosher Food at Riverbend Hospital!
Many of you may not have heard the news that there is now kosher food available at Sacred Heart Medical Center of Riverbend. Previously, only “kosher-style” was available. Now they carry prepared frozen meals bought from a distributer of kosher food. This is thanks to Ari Barab who was a patient at Riverbend before they had this option. He convinced them to offer meals which are kosher according to Jewish law. Rabbis Derfler and Spiegel consulted with the hospital staff about the relevant details of serving kosher meals.
Raina Steiner is in the hospital for her bone marrow transplant and is also starting her chemotherapy. Please daven for "Rivkah Faigeh bas Y'dis."
Also, a few of us connected with the shul would like to do some sort of benefit to help her family with expenses. If you can help, please contact Lynn at
541-338-9980 or lapsel@aol.com.
