Yoni Herman and Yitzy Goldberg
How do you know each other? Yoni: I know Yitzy and the entire Goldberg family from my days at Ner Yisroel. Our families go way back to when my father and the Goldbergs lived in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. A highlight of Yeshiva was when I would go to the Goldberg’s on Yeshiva Lane for Shabbos and Yom Tovim meals, (especially Mrs. Goldberg’s Amaretto cake). It is impressive that as young men, you are so committed to helping the
community-what can you attribute this to? Yitzy: As you can see, Yoni and I are a perfect fit as chesed partners. We literary grew up together at my parent’s Shabbos table and even spent Pesach’s together at the Shavrick’s Pesach programs. Our parents-both the Herman’s and mine- taught us to do chesed by example. We both had excellent teachers and Rebbaim at Talmudical Academy and Ner Yisroel that ingrained in us a strong sense of community. We are proud to be perpetuating this legacy. Please tell us about Baltimore Bikur Cholim and your current involvement Yoni and Yitzy: Baltimore Bikur Cholim is an integral part of the community here in Baltimore and impacts people from the entire world. Patients come to Baltimore’s world-famous hospitals from around the globe: South America, Europe, Canada, and Israel. Bikur Cholim welcomes these frightened families with a beautiful, comfortable place to stay, transportation, visitation,
Kosher meals, and medical advice. And this is only one of the myriad services that Bikur Cholim offers. Within our own community, Baltimore Bikur Cholim supplies free medical equipment, Kosher meals to the hospital and home, patient advocacy, Shabbos and Yom Tov rides, rides to medical appointments, patient visitation, and 6 Kosher Hospitality Rooms in our major local hospitals, including Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland Medical Center. In addition, since the advent of COVID-19, the last 15 months have been a difficult time for everyone. Bikur Cholim stepped up to the plate arranging for communication and food for patients alone in the hospitals without any visitation allowed from their families. Distributed and coordinated salvia COVID testing from June - September to assist people in getting quick responses. Assisted quarantine families and families with COVID with food shopping and other errands. Distributed toys to children whose families were in quarantine or sick with COVID. Helped more than 900 people (mostly the elderly who could not navigate the system) get vaccination appointments from January 2021 to March 2021 at various clinics. And finally, we are so proud of our community-based VACCINATION CLINIC at Ner Tamid, which has given out more than 5,000 shots to date! This is amazing! How can our readers help support this vital organization
