Jewish hospital chaplaincy

Jewish hospital chaplaincy involves trained spiritual caregivers providing support to Jewish patients, families, and staff during medical visits. Their role includes offering religious guidance, prayer, emotional comfort, and cultural sensitivity, respecting individual beliefs and practices. They also assist with rituals, such as kosher dietary needs and sacred traditions, helping maintain spiritual well-being alongside medical care. Chaplains collaborate with healthcare teams to address emotional and spiritual concerns, fostering a holistic approach to healing and recovery within the context of Jewish faith and values.
