<p>Vous voulez jouer à D.ieu ? C’est simple, dit le <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="38919">Talmud</span>, et de plus c’est une mitsva : rendez visite aux malades. D.ieu rendit visite à <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="37397">Abraham</span> lorsqu’il était malade. Alors quand vous le faites, vous faites comme D.ieu.</p>
<p>En hébreu, cela s’appelle <i>Bikour ‘Holim</i>. En voici les règles :</p>
<p><i>Remonter le moral</i></p>
<p>Pas d’air soucieux, pas de larmes, pas de visage sombre. Rien de tout cela ne va aider quiconque à guérir. Votre tâche est d’apporter un petit sourire, de l’espoir et peut-être même quelques éclats de rire. Préparez quelques bons mots, du style « Qu’est-ce qu’un sportif comme toi fait dans un endroit pareil ? » ou encore « Comment est le room service ici ? » Vous gagnez des points à chaque sourire que vous suscitez.</p>
<p> Bien sûr, vous devez savoir quand vous dépassez le temps de présence raisonnable. À ce moment-là, dites au patient l’adage ‘hassidique « Pense bien et ça ira bien », et éclipsez-vous discrètement.</p>

<p><i>Tendre la main</i></p>
<p>Votre présence en elle-même est thérapeutique, mais le patient a aussi d’autres besoins. Trouvez de quelle manière vous pouvez être utile. Faire des commissions ? L’emmener chez le médecin ? Ou peut-être faire un peu de ménage ?</p>
<p>Prévoyez avec attention le moment de votre visite. Si le patient reçoit des soins, ou vient d’en recevoir, il est probable qu’il ou elle ne sera pas d’humeur à recevoir des visites.</p>
<p>Il arrive que la situation ne permette pas de visite. Vous pouvez néanmoins faire <i>bikour ‘holim</i> d’autres manières : rendre visite à la famille, offrir votre assistance, ou...</p>
<p><i>Dire une prière</i></p>
<p>La chambre du patient est un lieu saint. Pendant que vous y serez, dites une courte prière pour une prompte guérison, telle que « Puisse D.ieu te guérir parmi tous les malades d’Israël » ou, le Chabbat, « Il est interdit d’implorer le Chabbat, mais la guérison sera prompte. » En partant, dites un psaume ou une autre prière.</p>
<p>Il est une tradition de demander à une personne sainte de prier pour le malade. <a href="/article.asp?aid=449810">Cliquez ici</a> pour envoyer une demande de bénédiction au <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="41117">Ohel</span> du Rabbi.</p>
