It’s been 128 days since Larry Kelly has been able to hug his wife. At one point, he was considered the sickest patient at Mount Sinai. Today, he is known as “Miracle Larry” and has been discharged from The New Jewish Home in Manhattan to return home to his family.

One day in early July, Peter and Susan Day drove to Sarah Neuman, The New Jewish Home’s Westchester campus, to visit Peter’s mother, Virginia. It was a trip they’ve made many times before, but this time it was different: they hadn’t seen her in person in months, and she had been very ill with COVID-19. Though they had video and phone chats with Virginia since she’s recovered, it was hard not to see her in person.

Laura Stein, Cantor and Hospice Chaplain at Sarah Neuman, our Westchester campus, wrote this beautiful piece that was featured in reformjudaism.org about her experience and efforts to uplift and connect Sarah Neuman residents during this challenging time.
