and throughout the nation.

Shenkman Fellows are top-notch
professionals who dedicate their careers
to end-of-life care for patients and their
loved ones. This distinction is promoted
as a badge of honor — an indication
that recipients have undergone the most
rigorous training and professional
development available, and that they
are on the cutting edge of their field. For

Rabbi Kaluzny is the youngest member
of the Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy
Network's rabbinic team and brings a
personable, vibrant perspective to
caring for the sick and dying.

After a personal experience with
hospice prior to the death of her
beloved aunt, Rabbi Kaluzny made the
decision to make pastoral and end-of-
life care a central part of her rabbinate.
As a hospice rabbi she provides spiritual
guidance for patients and their families,
assists with medical issues as they
pertain to Jewish tradition, and
provides a comforting presence for
patients and caregivers alike.

Rabbi Kaluzny, a pulpit Rabbi at Temple
Israel, joined the JHCN rabbinic team
in 2001 and was recently awarded a
Jewish Women's Foundation grant to
support her work to aid women in
hospice and palliative care settings.

Rabbi Kaluzny is utilizing her year as a
Shenkman Fellow to hone her profes-
sional caregiving skills and continues
to offer spiritual comfort to the sick and
dying. She advocates and provides a
Jewish presence for patients and their
families as JHCN's representative to
DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital,
Henry Ford Health System's West
Bloomfield campus and offers care to
individuals affiliated with Temple Israel
in West Bloomfield. She also serves on
JHCN's chaplaincy team for Shalom
Providence in Southfield.
