Feeling Bleh?
Run down or feeling ill? The Chicken Soup Brigade, brought to you by Colby Hillel and Beth Israel Congregation, makes being sick a little better by bringing you kosher and halal chicken or veggie soup, made with love, straight to your dorm room.
The Jewish Sages taught: One visits the sick – both those who aren’t Jewish and those who are – for the sake of peace (Gittin 61a).
Jews are taught to deliver soup?
Well, not chicken soup, exactly, but there is a teaching to visit the sick in your community. That text is derived from a portion of the Babylonian Talmud. The Talmud is a collection of rabbinic writing that provide commentary and interpretations of the Torah and the oral law. There are two iterations of the Talmud, one written in Jerusalem and one written in Babylonia, modern-day Iraq.
