Current Programs
-
Weekly classes: A group of dedicated medical professionals to come together online every Thursday 9:00-9:30 PM eastern to learn the profound connection between Chassidus and the field of medicine. Our classes delve into the rich teachings of Chassidus, offering a perspective that directly pertains to the challenges and experiences faced in the medical profession. At this point, this program is for men only. A women’s group is coming soon.
​
-
Study Partners (Chavrusas): We pair medical professionals with study partners to learn Torah or Chassidus, all while viewing these profound teachings through a unique medical lens. This personalized approach can be highly effective in instilling a deeper understanding and commitment to the study of Jewish teachings.
​
-
Referral and Mentoring for Medical Students/Residents: We serve as a referral center for medical students and residents who come into contact with Chabad Houses. This offers newcomers the chance to receive mentorship, guidance, and invaluable advice tailored to incoming doctors, paving the way for both their professional and spiritual growth within the community.
Our story
The Rofeh Yedid Group had its humble beginnings in the vibrant community of Miami Beach, where the visionary trio of Dr. Jay Holder, Dr. Reuven Freedman, and Dr. Amiel Levin embarked on a journey of discovery. United by their shared commitment to exploring the teachings of The Rebbe, they delved into his letters and maamars, deciphering their profound meanings and uncovering the invaluable footnotes. Together, they gathered the sources that The Rebbe had encouraged physicians to study.
​
This dedicated trio not only laid the foundation for the group but also created a structured curriculum. Since those early days, dozens of doctors have embraced this curriculum and have reported significant benefits from their involvement.
The next phase
We are excited to announce that our initiative is evolving. We are expanding our learning opportunities and networking to accommodate professionals from all medical specialties. By doing so, we aim to provide an even broader platform for personal growth, mutual support, and spiritual enrichment to healthcare professionals like you. Together, we will continue to improve healthcare by sharing wisdom and fostering meaningful connections.
