Jewish Healing combines ancient tradition with modern tools to provide spiritual support for individuals as they struggle with life’s greatest challenges. Jewish healing has been described in different ways -- as acceptance, a healing of emotional wounds, or a personal journey towards wholeness. Jewish Healing practices can lead to important insights, powerful changes, and a sense of peace when facing illness, loss, death, and grief.

Jews unaffiliated with synagogues or other Jewish institutions in need of spiritual guidance are encouraged to seek support and guidance. Whether through prayer, specialized rituals, education, information or simply a listening presence, the Jewish Healing Center can help you during these difficult times.

The Center also offers:

Burial Assistance

When faced with having to inter a Jewish person who has no family, or whose family cannot afford the cost of a Jewish burial, the Healing Center can offer financial assistance and referrals to funeral homes.

Chevra Kaddisha

Chevra Kaddisha refers to the “holy burial society” that performs the Tahara, the act of purifying the deceased body. This ritual practice fulfills Jewish burial laws.  The observance of the ritual burial is an ancient and sacred trust for the Jewish community and is considered one of the greatest mitzvah’s.

Jewish AIDS Network
HIV and AIDS continue to be a significant challenge for all segments of American society. The Jewish AIDS Network seeks to improve and enrich the quality of life for all those affected by HIV and AIDS, regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Parachaplaincy

Parachaplains are trained Jewish Healing Center volunteers who visit Jewish patients in hospitals, nursing homes and other senior living facilities. Volunteers are also encouraged and trained to become prayer leaders at local senior care facilities for Shabbat and holidays.
