Obituaries Rabbi Irving Schnipper urged the rabbinic and lay communities to visit the sick and aid the dying decades before Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network was organized. He did not want any Jew to die alone. In his retirement, he continues his life-long dedication to hospice care, visiting the Jewish dying, listening to their stories, praying with them and holding their hands. "This is in his heart. He is an inspiration to his colleagues and everyone around him," said JHCN Executive Director Rabbi E.B. Freedman. "Rabbi Schnipper is the model for how pastoral care is supposed to be. We are blessed to have him on our team."
