Calvary and Yeshiva University have collaborated to provide observant Jewish families with the information they need to obtain quality end-of-life care in full accordance with Halakha (Jewish law). Calvary is restoring a 135-year-old historic Torah scroll housed at the hospital’s Bronx campus. Scroll No. 515, from the town of Taus-Domazlice, is on permanent loan from the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London.
