What if visiting the sick is not an errand at all, but one of the most beautiful ways a person can walk through this world?
In A Light in the Room, HaRav Simcha Leib Weinberg shlita opens the mitzvah of bikur cholim through the Aruch HaShulchan, the Gemara, Chazal and the great tzaddikim, and through deeply personal stories from his own family and his own years of illness. Across eight chapters, like Refaeinu, the eighth bracha of the Amidah, he teaches how to walk into a sick person's room, how to see the whole family, how to bring light, how the visit teaches us what to daven for, and why we never stop davening.
Every chapter ends with practical steps to try this week. For anyone who visits, calls, cares for or davens for someone who is ill: here is how to bring a light into the room.
