ident of the JHCN board, said when he
heard Krakoff was available, he immedi-
ately thought he'd be a good addition. He
called Freedman and urged him to offer
Krakoff a job.
"Since 1998, when he arrived in this
community, I've heard nothing but
positive responses" from families that
Krakoff worked with when a loved one
died, Techner said. "He has boundless
energy, and he can fill so many roles
that could enhance a family's experience
of Jewish hospice
Freedman agrees.
"It's wonderful to see Rabbi Krakoff in
action:' he said. "He's completely adap-
tive to everyone he encounters, includ-
ing patients, families and rabbis of all
backgrounds. He'll be a wonderful addi-
tion to our staff"
Krakoff will continue to teach a week-
ly class at Hillel Day School and classes
for the Jewish Federation's FedEd adult
education program. He's also working on
a book proposal.
Krakoff said his new position enables
him to do all the professional activities
he enjoys most: pastoral care, teaching
and writing.
"All my worlds are coming together:'
he said.

He'll reach out to establish new partner-
ships with healthcare providers and to
help partners learn about working with
Jewish patients and families.
Krakoff is also developing the orga-
nization's new blog, to be called Every
Day is a Gift. He will join Freedman
and Rabbi Jennifer Kaluzny, a Jewish
Hospice chaplain and Temple Israel
rabbi, as a regular writer; there will also
be guest bloggers.
"We hope the blog will be a cutting-
edge place to go for information, answers
and support on all aspects of caring for
people at the end of life and those with
serious illnesses," Krakoff said.
Cheryl Weiss, JHCN director of educa-
tion, said Krakoff's services are much
needed.
"There was a hole in what we do, and
he is the perfect person to fill it:' she
said.
"Families of people nearing the end of
life are the most fragile, most vulnerable,
most raw:' she said. "Rabbi Freedman
and our whole team recognized Rabbi
Krakoff's special passion, commitment
and understanding" for families in that
situation.
