Ten Yad Kosher Pantry Opens at Queensway Carleton Hospital
Ten Yad of Ottawa is very pleased to announce the opening of the Kosher Pantry at the Queensway-Carleton hospital campus.
The Queensway-Carleton hospital can provide kosher food for patients. However, caregivers and family members have limited access to kosher food on site. This can be a particular challenge when a family member is admitted, in an emergency situation or during Shabbat. The Kosher Pantry, located in the hospital cafeteria, is stocked with an assortment of non-perishable food items, electric candles and grape juice for Shabbat along with siddurim, chumashim and other religious and inspirational items.
Ten Yad is most grateful to Joel and Gaye Taller, who have so generously sponsored the Kosher Pantry project in memory of Lillian and Archie Taller, OBM.
Through her dedication, Tamara Scarowsky transformed the idea of the Kosher Pantry into a reality and we now look forward to the leadership of Sarah Holland, who will oversee the day-to-day operation of the Kosher Pantry together with our KP “shopper”, Chana Esther Dayan. Ten Yad benefited from a wonderful working relationship with the Queensway-Carleton hospital staff, who recognized the need for this service and helped us “make it happen”. With the assistance of Maureen Molot, Ten Yad looks forward to the formal opening of Kosher Pantries at the other campuses of the Ottawa Hospital system in the very near future.
