(added September 19, 2024) We are honored to share this special volume of readings, reflections, and images called Kol HaNeshamot — Voices of Jewish Spiritual Care:
Reflecting on October 7. This curated collection of original articles includes submissions from spiritual care provider members from Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains (NAJC) for our colleagues.
These reflections are designed to bring a message of hope and possibility in light of the challenges of this past year as we turn toward the New Year ahead.
We hope that you share these spiritual care insights with your community and that they may serve as a resource and as a source of inspiration in the time ahead.
We invite you to print and share this with your wider communities.
