What does it mean to care for the sick — not just medically, but morally and spiritually?
In this episode of Identity/Crisis, Yehuda Kurtzer invites Sara Labaton, Director of Teaching and Learning at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, to share her essay, ‘Permission and Obligation: A Jewish Paradigm for Care,’ from the Spring issue of Sources: A Journal of Jewish Ideas.
Drawing from personal experience and Jewish texts, Sara explores the complexities of caregiving and examines the role of doctors, patients, and the community in the healing process.
