professionals on the customs, traditions
and rituals of Jewish patients and their families at the end
of life. This has led to multiple speaking engagements and
contributing a chapter on Jewish medical ethics to the
Jewish Hospice Manual, authored by Rabbi Maurice Lamm
and jointly published by VITAS and the National Institute
for Jewish Hospice. Dr. Kinzbrunner is currently working
with healthcare providers and physicians in Israel to assist
in the development of hospice and palliative care and
spiritual care services in that country.
