David Techner's father, Harry,

was not religious, but discussions with
rabbis on Jewish views about death and
afterlife comforted him greatly at the
end of his life.

"The rabbis said the shema with my
Dad while he laid in his hospital bed
dying, and he never would have done
that alone," said David Techner, co-
founder and president of Jewish
Hospice & Chaplaincy Network. "I
watched my father die in peace, and
that became the vision for Jewish
Hospice & Chaplaincy Network."
