HOSPICE HEROES
MAKE LIFE BETTER
Jennifer Tisdale was encouraged by a hospice
rabbi's warmth and kindness when her aunt was
dying. Then 19, the future rabbi vowed to make
chaplaincy work part of her life.
Before being ordained, she interned with Jewish
Hospice & Chaplaincy Network and completed
training in clinical pastoral care.
"Every family grabs my heart, and I will be there
as long as people need guidance and a hand to
hold," says Rabbi Tisdale, of Temple Israel and
JHCN. "I became a rabbi to help and to be there
when families need spiritual comfort."
