A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

What does Jewish tradition offer as a source of healing? This groundbreaking volume explores the Jewish tradition for comfort in times of illness and Judaism's perspectives on the inevitable suffering with which we live. Pushing the boundaries of Jewish knowledge, scholars, teachers, artists and activists examine the aspects of our mortality and the important distinctions between curing and healing. Topics discussed include: · The Importance of the Individual · Health and Healing among the Mystics · Hope and the Hebrew Bible · From Disability to Enablement · Overcoming Stigma · Jewish Bioethics Drawing from literature, personal experience and the foundational texts of Judaism, these celebrated thinkers show us that healing is an idea that can both soften us so that we are open to inspiration as well as toughen us - like good scar tissue - in order to live with the consequences of being human.
