One part of Chabad of Arizona’s work that many people may not know about happens in hospitals and alongside families facing serious illness.

Through Jewish Care Network, Rabbi Moshe Levertov works with patients and families throughout the Valley, providing hospital visits, medical referrals and advocacy, spiritual support, and help navigating some of the hardest moments a family can face.
