A comedic YouTube clip titled “How NOT To Perform Bikur Cholim”, packing a powerful but humorous message about visiting the sick, will be featured as part of a new DVD soon to be released by Rabbi Paysach Krohn, titled “Bikur Cholim -Sense and Sensitivity.”
“I have been dreaming about doing a project like this for two or three years,” Rabbi Krohn told VIN News. “I wanted to do something for the sake of klal yisroel in a lighthearted, encouraging way.”
The DVD features words of chizuk aimed at both those who would be performing the mitzvah of bikur cholim and the cholim themselves featuring the inspiring words of Rabbi Raymond Beyda, Rabbi Dovid Weinberger, Rabbi Eytan Feiner, Rabbi Simcha Lefkowitz, Rabbi Paysach Krohn and Rabbi Warren Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of South Africa. Also featured is an entertaining segment interviewing children about the mitzvah of bikur cholim.
“How NOT to Perform Bikur Cholim is a culmination of all the advice given by the rabbonim on the DVD,” explain Chananya Kramer of Kol Rom Multimedia and producer of the project. “We packed all the information into four tight minutes and presented it in a light hearted way.” The clip, which clocks in at four minutes and forty one seconds features the comedic talents of Mich Cohen and Shmop Weisbord, in addition to the feet of Yaakov Kramer.
Bikur Cholim – Sense and Sensitivity is expected to be released in the next few weeks and will be available free of charge.
