In Judaism, we have a beautiful mitzvah called Bikur Cholim, visiting the sick. This mitzvah helps our fellow Jews to stay positive in a time of illness and to help them in their recovery process. While it’s against Jewish law to visit people when you could expose them to a contagious disease, that shouldn’t stop you from calling them. For every person who’s going stir crazy in their apartment, the good news is that you’re not alone and can easily call a friend, family member, colleague, or neighbor who’s stuck in the same boat. This fulfills the mitzvah of and reminds us that we are never alone.
