On Tuesday evening, May 10, Dr. Mel Breite, Founder and Director of the Navigating the Medical System Lecture Series, welcomed everyone to a virtual lecture on palliative care. The lecture was hosted, as always, by Congregation Etz Chaim. Dr. Breite noted that the idea of palliative care was never taught when he was in medical school, and Dr. Cynthia Pan, Director of Palliative Care at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Queens, also shared that this term was not taught when she attended medical school. So, it is a fairly new idea.

On Wednesday evening, April 20, Chazaq, the Queens Jewish Link, the BJL, TorahAnytime, and Chickens for Shabbos hosted an emergency T’hilim gathering for the community at Congregation Khal Nachlas Yitzchok on behalf of Rabbi Moshe Neuman, Dean Emeritus of the Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens.
