Program Spotlight: Baskin Jewish Community Chaplaincy
This month, we're excited to spotlight our Baskin Jewish Community Chaplaincy program. We sat down with Rabbi Rick Brody, Jewish Community Chaplain, and Lisa Soicher, Jewish Community Liaison, to learn about this remarkable team and their work throughout JFS and our communities.
Death, birth, and peace, a day with Rabbi Brody
In times of need, compassion and comfort help heal and bring peace. For JFS’s Rabbi Rick Brody, who leads the JFS Baskin Jewish Community Chaplaincy program, in a single day he experienced a first—being in the presence of one person who was dying and another human being who was just born. Rabbi Brody shared his reflections on these meaningful experiences.
Rabbi Rick Provides Healing, Comfort, and Spiritual Needs
In times of need, compassion and comfort help heal and bring peace. For Tsivya, JFS’s Rabbi Rick, who leads the JFS Baskin Jewish Community Chaplaincy program, provided the necessary solace she and her husband, Barry, needed during a difficult time. Tsivya shared the couple’s story with our readers to bring light to the good work being done through Rabbi Rick.
