NIJH JEWISH HOSPICE MANUAL
This manual is intended for non-Jewish hospice professionals and
volunteers, and also Jewish personnel who do not have a clear sense
about what different Jewish religious needs are.
It
speaks for all Jews, on the entire spectrum. It will
contain definitive, short pieces on the variety of Jewish
belief from centrist orthodox to Hasidic to conservative
to reform to secular to the yeshiva world and to reconstructionists.
NIJH
has wanted to produce such a book for many years. It
has taken a joint project with a powerful front line
hospice to make
it a reality.
We are very excited
to add to our list of products this major resource that will be
made
available to every hospice in the country. Please proceed to our
Literature
and Publications section to purchase.
