NEW
YORK: The Parker Jewish Institute in New York is building a collection of
Indian prayer books, thanks to the donation from members of the community, a
media report said. Parker's Indian Cultural Unit now features a burgeoning
collection of prayer books and religious poems.
Carefully
selected, the books bring residents and patients a sense of spiritual wellness,
India-West news said in the report on Sunday citing the institute as saying.
In December
2019, Asa'Mai Temple in Hicksville, New York, donated seven religious books,
and members of a Long Island family recently published, printed and donated 12
small books of religious poetry, in memory of their late father, the institute
further said.

"These
remarkable donations truly make a difference for residents and patients on
their path to wellness at Parker's Indian Cultural Unit," the India-West
report quoted Michael N. Rosenblut, President and CEO at Parker Institute, as
saying.
"The
library of books is just one example of how the unit meets the growing needs of
the local South Asian community."
Parker's
Indian Cultural Unit provides specialized care to the increasing population of
older Indian-Americans in Nassau and Queens.
The unit is
staffed by Indian physicians, nurses and other associates who are fluent in
Indian languages, including Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi and Punjabi.
