“When you visit, I feel like I matter to you and the world. It is one of the things that give me life and strengthens my will to go on—all this and more just by coming and sitting with me. You don’t have to worry about what to say, it’s unimportant. The most important thing is that you came. In the past, I would be the visitor, but now, being the visited, I have gained a whole new perspective. When the sages tell us that visiting the sick takes away one-sixtieth of the illness, it is not that you just removed illness, but even more, you added life.”
- Rabbi Yitzi
Before the visit
• You can read articles from his blog YitziHurwitz.blogspot.com and TorahFromMyEyes.com
Rabbi Yitzi loves to hear feedback on his writings and Dvar Torahs.
• Watch this segment on Rabbi Yitzi and his family: Youtube.com/watch?v=QNZAkgXXPqI

• Invite some friends/family to join along.
• Bring along a musical instrument or an interesting artifact; Rabbi Yitzi loves music, nature, and history.
During the visit
• Ask Rabbi Yitzi to share a Dvar Torah; it gives him fulfillment to spread his light and learnings with others.
• Share about your life, family, business, something you learned, etc. Rabbi Yitzi loves to hear other people’s stories.
• Play a game of chess with him; there is a chess board in the room.
• Read a book to him (there’s a bunch on the bookshelf, you can ask the nurse for assistance).
• Feel free to take a picture with Rabbi Yitzi (if you want to post on social media, please tag him @rabbiyitzi).
• Rabbi Yitzi can communicate through his board or eye gaze machine; so feel free to ask him questions (please be mindful that it is hard for him and try to ask in a way that would elicit the shortest response).
After the visit
