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.”
