A Tribute to
Dr. Bertha Nelkin A”H A Founding Member of Bikur Cholim of Baltimore
On כד' כסלו the community mourned the loss of a great
woman,
Dr. Bertha Nelkin, a’h
בתיה בת משה חיים ע"ה
Dr. Bertha Nelkin was a founding member of Bikur Cholim of
Baltimore. She was the epitome of אוהב הבריאות and
channeled her compassion for the sick and less fortunate.
Everything our volunteers in Bikur Cholim do from patient
visitation to transportation to medical appointments to kosher
meal delivery, she did by herself together with her choshuv
husband Rabbi Yosef Nelkin ( he should be gezunt).
When accommodations were needed for out-of-towners
coming for medical help, they welcomed them into their home-
sometimes for months at a time. She and her husband would
spend Purim visiting the hospitals and bringing Shalach Manos
and smiles.
As Bikur Cholim grew, she headed the Visitation Committee,
expanding it to more facilities and training more volunteers.
She served on the Bikur Cholim Community Advisory Board
until very recently.
Dr. Nelkin should be a Meilitz Yosher for her husband, her
children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and the k’lal.
May she be an inspiration for us and keep us focused on what is
truly important: עולם חסד יבנה
יהי זכרה ברוך

Bikur Cholim Volunteers
To Our Dear Volunteers,
Each and every day, we receive messages from people in
our community as well as from out-of-town requesting
anything from someone to stay with a family member in the
hospital, to rides to medical appointments, food at the
hospitals or for a homebound patient, medical equipment, a
visitor, and the lists go on and on. With siyata dishmaya, we
are able to fulfil most of the requests we receive.
But we can do so only because of you, our wonderful,
dedicated volunteers! It is you who drive hundreds of
patients to doctors appointments, cook meals, visit people in
the hospital, stay with babies overnight in the hospital, stock
the Kosher Hospitality Rooms on a regular basis-day and
night- and the list goes on and on. We are so fortunate that
you are on our team and we want to take this very small
opportunity to thank you not only on behalf of the
organization but on behalf of everyone of the hundreds and
hundreds of individuals we help each year.
As our mission statement says, Bikur Cholim is here to
enable patients to focus on their recovery by providing
assistance...at no cost to them. We are only able to provide
these services because of our tremendous team of
volunteers.
Thank you to one and all of you!

a dear friend
Who doesn't pass your gracious home as we drive

our heart as we remember how lovingly and with such
spirit you tended to your elegant garden? As spring
time blooms everywhere your fragrant, resplendent
flowers renew once again. They bring joy to each and
every passerby, however, especially to those who
remember, love and honor your memory in
perpetuity.

The dedication and devotion of the

I have often heard that
Baltimore Bikur Cholim
is one of the “best in the country” and
this is a direct correlation to the fact
that our team of volunteers is the “best

Thank you to all our volunteers for
