What is the basis in Jewish tra
dition for requiring people to visit
the sick?
The rabbis generally consider
this as a fulfillment of the biblical
command, “And thou shah walk in
His ways.” (Deuteronomy 28:9) It
is, therefore, man’s obligation to
follow the practice of the Almighty
as a model of proper behavior. The
Book of Genesis (18:1) tells us that
the Almighty visited Abraham on
the third day following his circum
cision.
The Talmud (Sotah 14a) tells us
that the Almighty’s purpose was to
visit Abraham while he was getting
over the effect of his circumcision
which obviously was like a sickness.
Some of the medieval writers
(e g., Nachmanides) indicates that
visiting the sick involves at least
two elements. One is the care and

who died two years earlier. “My

He said the synagogue’s relations
with the Soviet regime are conducted
through the Ministry for Religious
Affairs. “Whenever we need some
thing, Hour to bake matzot for
Pesach or materials to repair the
building, we apply to the Ministry
for Religious Affairs,” Shayevich
said. He said that in 1984, 150tons

concern for the patient which includes
actually doing something for him
in a physical sense so as to help his
condition, alleviate his pain and
strengthen his survival.
The second is to offer a prayer
for the patient. Even if one cannot
alleviate physical pain, he certainly
can calm down psychological stress.
A visit might even include providing
some ritual materials so that the
patient might observe some religious
requirement.
Obviously every visit should be
programmed according to the needs
of the patient and not merely be a
social encounter. The Talmudic
sages indicate that visiting the sick
and doing something for them is
not only rewarded on this earth but
also merits reward in the world to
come. (Talmud: Pe'ah 1:1).

He has contact with the Kremlin
once a year, on Nov. 7, Revolution
Day, when the chief rahhi and the
country’s other religious leaders
are received by the government
and the Communist Party’s Central
Committee at a reception.
Shayevich has visited the United
States but never Israel. He said
that if the Soviet Union re-established
diplomatic relations with Israel,
many Soviet Jews would visit there
and he would be among the first.
Anti-Semitic elements in the U.S.
have been provided by the Pollard
case with ammunition against Jews
in this country. Friendly elements
tended to become unfriendly. This
caused uneasiness among Jews which
is now declining due to the attitude
of understanding shown by the
administration, and to most of the
media.
Leaders in Israel must understand
that the relationship between the
American Jewish community and
Israel is as important as the relation
ship between the United States and
Israel. They cannot indulge in acts
that could spell potential trouble
for American Jewry.
