NIJH was
established in 1985 to help alleviate suffering in serious
and terminal illness. Its 52,000 members comprise business
and professional leaders, and a consortium of endowing
foundations.
It communicates with hospices, hospitals, family service, medical
organizations and all health-care agencies alerting them to the plight
of the Jewish terminally ill.
A 24 hour toll-free number counsels families, patients and care-givers,
and provides locations of hospices, hospitals, health professionals
and clergy of all faiths.
NIJH helped launch 55 Jewish hospice programs in the United States
and Canada assisting facilities in planning conferences, training
staff and designing appropriate workshops to better serve the Jewish
terminally ill.

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.
