NYBR has close relations with leaders of New York’s various faith traditions. When prejudice harms any member of a community, all are harmed. Such common concerns require collaborative efforts in seeking solutions to challenges confronting society, including prejudice, mental health, affordable housing, adequate health insurance, poverty, and homelessness. NYBR’s work in this area allows different faith traditions to be there for each other in times of crisis, as well as times of celebration.
Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation is located at 271-11 76th Avenue in New Hyde Park. For information, call 718-289-2212.
