Lend Me Your Hand and I will Raise You: Healing and the Journey toward Refuah Sh'leimah
This curriculum is a guide to Jewish healing for lay pastoral caregivers.
About this Curriculum
Although the journey toward healing finds language across many religious and cultural traditions, this curriculum guide aims to provide adult learners with a particularly Jewish language to define learners' work as healers. Learners will immerse themselves practical details of a Jew’s obligation to visit the sick and console the mourners in their community. They will experience methods for continuing their own healing and growing journey; and they will have the opportunity to define - however provisionally - their answers to big questions behind healing.
This curriculum was created by Rabbi Eric Rosenstein, 2017 graduate of Hebrew Union College's School of Education for caregivers.
