Michelle,
          I would open my home if I lived near the hospital. I live a good 8 miles away. There are no "faithful families" living within reasonable walking distance. If there were I am sure that their houses would be open. As far as the Monestary sharing its facilities, that would not be a viable option. Orthodox Jews are not permitted to enter a church or a house of worship of any religion other than their own. ( I have not been able to attend folk concerts or coffee houses that take place in churches because of this law.) While staying in this Shabbos House they are required to offer the Sabbath prayers as well. A Jew is not permitted to pray in the same room where a crucifix is affixed to the wall. The kitchen facilities in the Monestary are not kosher. Special food is part of the Jewish sabbath worship as well. That is why it is important to have our own place.
