sukkah1No one wants to be stuck in the hospital on Succos, but in case anyone finds themselves there during Yom Tov, Chesed 24/7 now has an updated list of the locations of succahs in various hospitals in Manhattan, New Jersey and Upstate. (See below.)

Chesed Hospitality Rooms will also be open and fully stocked with lulavim, esrogim, hot Yom Tov meals, snacks, drinks, hot water urns, and reading materials. Patients and their families are welcome to put their own Yom Tov food in the rooms’ refrigerators as well as the warming drawers. These rooms provide a “calm within the storm”, a place to rest and get taste of Yom Tov, even in the hospital.

Chesed 24/7 Hospitality Rooms can be found in the following hospitals:  Columbia – Milstein Pavilion,  Columbia – Babies and Children’s Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York Hospital Weill Cornell,  Hackensack University Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, Hospital of Special Surgery, NY Downtown Hospital, Englewood Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Catskill Regional Medical Center (Harris Hospital).

May the Chesed 24/7 Hospitality Rooms and the succahs be used only for simchos!

  1. Although the effort to provide a Sukkah for those who would otherwise have difficulty in fulfilling their obligation to perform this Mitzvah is highly commendable, it might be important to take note of the following:

    An ailing patient as well as his attendants are exempt from the Mitzvah of Sukkah, if the patient is deathly ill. In the case of a patient who is not in peril, his attendants are also exempt from Sukkah requirements at the time when their services are required by the patient.

    There may also be a question whether one who is thus exempt may recite a Brucha when eating in a Sukkah at a time when he is on call to serve the patient. A different Hallacha might apply for the first night of Sukkah.

    In any event one should consult with a competent Hallacik authority to verify the applicable Hallcha.

  2. The NYU Langone Medical Center also has a most beautiful Succah and a fully stocked Bikur Cholim Room that is under the auspices of Rabbi Yisroel Rosman of NYU. The Succah is located immediately upon entering the main entrance to the hospital. Ask at the information desk)

  3. There is a very large Sukkah near Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, in the courtyard of the student housing for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
