“These are the obligations without measure …
To visit the sick …
To console the bereaved …
To perform acts of loving kindness …"
(From the morning liturgy, “Eilu D’varim,”
Based on Talmud, Shabbat, 127a, Translations excerpted from
Siddur Lev Shalom and Gates of Prayer)
NAJC Operations During The COVID-19 Outbreak
For more than 30 years, Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains (NAJC) has served Jewish chaplains worldwide. During the coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) outbreak, we remain committed to your personal and professional well-being. We recognize that our member chaplains are serving on the front lines of this pandemic, and we are here for you.
During this unprecedented time, NAJC remains open, providing online forums to chaplains of various professional settings, Town Halls for our members to share their experiences and concerns, a growing library of resources that members can access or add to at any time, and our Chesed Committee remains committed to the spiritual well-being of our members, offering confidential one-on-one support.
We are continually looking to expand services for our chaplains. NAJC has adopted the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) guidelines to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Our staff is working remotely and continues to be available to you by email at info@najc.org and by phone at (305) 394-8018. We hope and pray for the safety and well-being of all during this most difficult time.
