Hachnosas Orchim – Bikur Cholim
If you are visiting New Haven for a family simcha, a medical issue or simply to enjoy a quiet Shabbos away from home, the Yeshiva of New Haven looks forward to welcoming you. Whether you would simply like some guidance as to what is available in the area, are looking for Shabbos meals or need to arrange transportation to the hospital, please contact us so we can help make your stay more enjoyable.
We are close to Yale New Haven Hospital, the Children’s Hospital at Yale and St. Raphael’s Hospital. Yeshiva of New Haven maintains a beautiful two bedroom hachnosas orchim apartment. The air conditioned apartment, next door to the Yeshiva, includes an eat-in kitchen and furnished living and dining room. Linens and a pack-and-play are provided, as well. Nearby hotels include Omni, Courtyard by Marriott, and The New Haven Hotel.
Please call several days in advance. Of course, if you get stuck on I-95, we can always set a few more places at the Shabbos table!
