“In a quiet area on the 5th floor of Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale and at St. Catherine’s Rehabilitation Hospital in Hialeah Gardens, rabbis minister to dying Jewish patients.
“Rabbis from Catholic Hospice have been serving patients in the L’chaim Jewish Hospice program for 10 years. . . .
“Catholic Hospice plans to open two facilities that will care for Jewish patients. One facility will be in western Broward County and the other will be in southern Miami-Dade County. The program also plans to add several rabbis who will serve assigned areas.”
A recent article in the Jewish Journal (Deerfield Beach, FL) reported on the ministry of Catholic Hospice’s L’chaim Jewish Hospice Program as it serves the needs of South Florida’s Jewish community within a framework of Jewish values, customs, and traditions.
