Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society Reception

Naomi and Chaim Manela, and Lorraine and Steve Spira recently hosted the annual Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society (RCCS) reception in Los Angeles. RCCS supporters throughout the Los Angeles Jewish community were in attendance.

Guest speaker Rabbi Dr. Joel Rosenshein of RCCS spoke about the issue of the emotional trauma of cancer and its effects. Executive Director Rabbi Yosef Golding articulated the significant role played by the RCCS in assisting those in need.

It is through the beneficence of the Jewish community and RCCS that cancer-stricken patients can maintain their health insurance, thereby enabling them to maintain their coverage and freeing them from the financial burdens and subsequent emotional stress that can ensue.

Those who have benefited from RCCS’s assistance shared the sentiments of one fortunate recipient of the society’s aid, who said, “Saying thank you to RCCS is not enough. It was a miracle that RCCS stepped in and took care of what had to be taken care of.”
