Congregation Tehillah andThe Academy for Jewish Religion,
Riverdale, New York,
are pleased to present:
Caring for Those We Love: A Jewish Perspective
A one-day conference designed for families and individuals caring for ailing loved ones
A one-day conference designed for families and individuals caring for ailing loved ones
We will gather together with Jewish health care professionals, rabbis, social workers, Bible scholars, legal experts, musicians and artists who will lead us in a provocative day of discussion, guided meditation, practical considerations, healing, and advice. There is much that we can learn in dialogue with each other, much that our tradition can offer.
The people we love are not supposed to get sick, except they sometimes do. Caring for them should not be scary or lonely or painful. Except it often is. Within the frenzied pace of life, where do we find the time… and the space… to care for ourselves while taking care of others?
Join us as we tackle these and other difficult questions we face in caring for our loved ones:
How do we protect our loved one’s dignity once they are ill? How do we ensure that their wishes are respected? How do we project into the future when we may be the ones in need of care? Where do we find answers — to issues of health, law, religion, spirituality? What practical things should we know? Where do we draw resources and strength? What are the questions we don’t even know to ask?
