Compassionate Care:
Rabbis Supporting Those Impacted by Cancer
Presented by Sharsheret
Hosted by WRN and the CCAR
With cancer diagnoses on the rise, we as rabbis have a sacred obligation and opportunity to provide impacted community members with emotional and spiritual care. This powerful training held on March 4th gave Reform rabbis the information and tools we needed to support and guide those who are navigating an experience with cancer.
The training covered topics such as introduction to understanding cancer, where being Jewish might intersect with a cancer diagnosis, how cultural nuances can impact diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, spiritual concerns, and the creation of caring community and how that impacts both healing and the community-at-large.
Thank you to all our participants.
