For Shluchim
A letter from Dr. Amiel Levin, founder
​
Welcome, esteemed rabbis and community leaders, to the Rofeh Yedid initiative. The Rebbe greatly encouraged physicians to all Jewish doctors to come together, to unite in the pursuit of knowledge and the study of Torah, fostering a stronger connection to our heritage while deepening their professional expertise. In following that directive of the Rebbe, Rofeh Yedid was established.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to connect Jewish Medical Professionals* in your community with a unique educational opportunity that bridges the worlds of medicine and Torah and Chasidus study. In doing so, we aim to encourage doctors to embrace both aspects of their lives and bring that enriching fusion into their medical practice.
*doctors,
​
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 (Chavrusa): 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.
