and empowered … It was
so helpful to see others
going through the same
things as me and knowing
that I’m not alone; we’re
experiencing these new
struggles and triumphs
together.”
The third annual Bikur
Cholim of Detroit’s women’s
brunch and awareness
event was held Nov. 13 at
Congregation Ahavas Olam
in Southfield. The program
featured Racheli Indig, a
Partners in Torah educator,
speaking on the topic of “A
community of kindness:
committing to ourselves and
our community.”
“The goal of the event
was to inspire women to
volunteer through Bikur

Cholim and on their own,”
said Apt, Bikur Cholim
director. “When someone’s
experiencing a medical chal-
lenge — or just had a baby
— they’re feeling especially
vulnerable and when others
do something for them,even
something small, it feels so
meaningful and significant
to the person experiencing
the challenge.
“I know women are always
juggling so much, but it’s
still so important to stretch
ourselves and give to others.
In doing so, we always
end up giving to ourselves,
too.”
