HUC Seminar
Offers AIDS Support

New York (JTA) — Address-
ing the need to train and
offer support to rabbis deal-
ing with the AIDS epidemic,
Hebrew Union College-
Jewish Institute of Religion
has announced a seminar for
rabbis on pastoral care and
AIDS.
The group, open to rabbis
of all denominations, will
focus on the clinical issues
and dilemmas that rabbis
confront when providing
pastoral care to those who
have AIDS or have tested
positive for HIV, the virus
that causes the disease.
The program will also help
rabbis in counseling compa-
nions and immediate family
members.
The certificate-based pro-
gram, scheduled to run
through March 24, 1993, is
contingent upon adequate
registration.
Participants, who will be
apprised of the latest issues
in AIDS-related clinical
research and care, will also
learn how to improve their
pastoral counseling skills.
The group members will
provide each other with the
necessary support to help
avoid their own burnout
when working intensively
with such issues.
"I have been very much
aware of how difficult this
work is for people who are
inexperienced," said Dr.
Leslie Freedman, who will
lead the program.
"Unfortunately, rabbis
and clergy of every sort are
having to work with con-
gregants whose lives have
been touched by this plague,
whether directly, being sick
themselves, or by having a
family member or someone
who's close to them infected

and struggling to live with
AIDS or HIV infection."
Dr. Freedman, a clinical
psychologist and rabbi, has
10 years of experience work-
ing intensively with AIDS-
related issues both in his
private practice and as a
volunteer group leader for
the Gay Men's Health
Crisis. Dr. Freedman is cur-
rently a lecturer in human
relations in the Doctor of
Ministry program at HUC-

According to Dr. Freed-
man, the seminar is a follow-
up on earlier initiatives
taken by the Reform move-
ment and HUC-JIR to
enhance rabbis' knowledge
about these issues.
"It's certainly timely to
provide a forum for rabbis to
talk about their
clinical/pastoral experience
as well as to have a forum of
colleagues to discuss the
whole range of feelings and
thoughts that come up
around these matters," Dr.
Freedman said.
He emphasized the impor-
tance of training rabbis to
deal effectively with the
AIDS epidemic in their in-
dividual communities.
"I think that while the
(Jewish) national organiza-
tions have certainly made
appropriate policy
statements, that is a very
different matter than having
rabbis in each community
making the opportunity to
preach about HIV and in-
stituting appropriate educa-
tional programs."
It is "very important," he
said, to combine "good AIDS
education with Jewish
values and morality around
interpersonal relation-
ships."
