Jewish chaplains are active in a wide array of settings in Jewish communities, serving in hospitals, long term care facilities, hospices, adult living facilities, prisons and other contexts. The class will describe the art of Jewish chaplaincy since its beginning and will detail the role of the chaplain as the professional who helps provide for spiritual health. Rabbis Kaprow and Ozarowski will discuss where chaplains work, why they are necessary, their specialized training, and how chaplains differ from community clergy. The presentation will include case studies and vignettes.
