Jewish Visiting (otherwise known as the Jewish Visitation Committee) has been responsible for the provision of Jewish Hospital Chaplaincy to hospitals in Greater London and surrounding areas since 1875. The service is administered by the United Synagogue on behalf of the whole Jewish community in the area, so our chaplains and visitors come from all different sections of the Jewish population... While many patients will be visited either by friends, family or people from their own synagogue, not everyone has that support or their family and friends do not live nearby. Jewish Visiting is a cross-communal initiative organised by the United Synagogue Chesed Department where we aim to visit anyone in hospital who says they are Jewish, regardless of whether they are synagogue members or not. We cover most of the hospitals within London and the Home Counties.
