“ I work as part of a diverse team of chaplains at a large medical center, where, for many years, I served as the only Jewish clergy. I so appreciate being a part of NAJC where I can connect with other Jewish colleagues who understand the specific needs and concerns of Judaism in a healthcare setting.
