SOUTHEND Hospital has an open prayer space for Jewish patients and staff, offering them a place to observe Shabbat and which supports Jewish health and wellbeing. The space is located within the hospital’s chaplaincy suite and has been designed to “offer comfort, dignity and privacy”. It includes a kosher microwave and freezer, washing facilities, a cupboard with kosher food and drink, a small food store for children, and a resting area. It offers a sense of calm in the middle of what can often be a stressful time. Everything in the space has been carefully thought through to meet practical needs, while showing real care for the community it serves. For many Jewish patients and families, being in hospital especially over Shabbat and Yom Tov can be really difficult. Having a dedicated space like this means you don’t have to worry about kosher food and prayers. The service operates 24/7, is restocked regularly and maintained by a local volunteer. Shabbat essentials such as tea lights are on hand.
