HOSPICE HEROES
KEEP
THE
PROMISE
Rabbi Hershel Klainberg
devoted his career to teaching Torah
to children and serving as a chaplain
before joining the Jewish Hospice
and Chaplaincy Network staff.
Much has changed since he became a
hospice caregiver six years ago.
"Instead of teaching others, I am
becoming the student by watching
my patients show love, respect,
dignity and devotion toward their
loved ones as they face the end of
their lives," Rabbi Klainberg said.
"Teaching was meaningful, but this
is more rewarding."
