The first comprehensive resource for pastoral care in the Jewish tradition—and a vital resource for counselors and caregivers of other faith traditions.

The essential reference for rabbis, cantors, and laypeople who are called to spiritually accompany those encountering joy, sorrow, and change—now in paperback. This groundbreaking volume draws upon both Jewish tradition and the classical foundations of pastoral care to provide invaluable guidance.

Offering insight on pastoral care technique, theory, and theological implications, the contributors to Jewish Pastoral Care are innovators in their fields, and represent all four contemporary Jewish movements.

This comprehensive resource provides you with the latest theological perspectives and tools, along with basic theory and skills for assisting the ill and those who care for them, the aging and dying, those with dementia and other mental disorders, engaged couples, and others, and for responding to issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse, and disasters.

“A defining volume … to which one can return again and again for guidance and insight. For those who are called to the profession of Jewish pastoral care, and for those who are ever called to ‘be there’ for another human being—be it a loved one, a friend, or a stranger—this book is a precious resource.”

The Reconstructionist

“Very impressive and vital volume … help[s] Jewish caregivers understand and act upon the Jewish dimension of their roles.… Offers conceptual and practical tools … belongs not only in the synagogue library, but also in the hands of the Jewish caregiver as a useful and accessible resource.”
