The Story Behind Our Rooms
Gezint provides a Kosher Pantry, stocked with kosher food, that includes a refrigerator, freezer, microwave coffe and tea in alomst all wards in hospitals in the UK.
Our goal is to ensure that patients admitted that might not be prepared for admissions to have the basic snacks and other jewish necessities e.g. snacks, siddurim, tehillim, tallis, tefillin, and other.
During holiday seasons we will ensure our pantries are fully stocked with the seasonal necessities e.g. shofar,megilla, lulev etrog etc.
How It All Started
We aim to establish Respite Rooms in all hospitals outside our core area, ensuring support is available wherever patients may be admitted due to a lack of local beds. GEZINT is dedicated to providing welcoming spaces that are consistently stocked with wholesome, nutritious food, practical amenities, and essential Jewish items. Our unwavering commitment is rooted in the values of sensitivity, respect, dignity, and complete confidentiality
