Jewish Visions for Aging: A Professional Guide to Fostering Wholeness

Dayle A. Friedman

From the rapidly changing retirement years to the sometimes wrenching challenges of dementia and chronic illness, spiritual questions and need are central - and todays elders and carers are searching for meaning, purpose and community within Jewish tradition. With timely - and timeless - wisdom, this rich resource probes Jewish texts, spirituality and observances, uncovering a deep, never-before-realised approach to caring for the aging and the elderly with a refreshing and inspiring vitality. The insights spanning textual analysis as well as spiritual and pastoral perspectives provide practical guidance to spiritual care and communal programming to engage and serve elders and their families. Jewish and non-Jewish clergy, chaplins, social workers, volunteers and family members will find this guide an invaluable asset as they explore how to support the elders and their families through daily spiritual and communal life.
