The richness of Jewish tradition is remarkably modern in how the tradition approaches health and wellness, and thus, by extension, illness. Embedded in our tradition is the idea that the body and the soul are linked and that linkage impacts our health. As representations of something sacred, we are commanded to take care of our bodies. Unfortunately, perfect health is something we, or our loved ones, might never achieve no matter how hard we try. In our Day of Caring we will look at Jewish genetics and begin to understand how genes affect our lives and what we can do to make sure we get the best care you can get. Additionally, so many of us are now or will be involved in caring for a loved one. What does Judaism have to say that can guide us in this new “life stage”? How many of us are members of what we now call the “sandwich” generation? When is it permissible to cede care to third party? What is the financial impact on our ability to care and the “economics of aging”? Come and join us for a day of support to those who need care and to those who give it.
