Jewish Perspectives on Caregiving

Caregiver Conversations:
A Group for Adult Children with Aging Parents

Jewish Family Services convenes “Caregiver Conversations,” a monthly drop-in educational and support group for adult children in a variety of caregiving roles for their aging parents.

What does Judaism have to say about caregiving? “Honor thy Father and Mother” is a good plan, but a bit vague when it comes to decisions around care, independence, and safety. Join us for a special session in which we’ll examine the ways in which Jewish culture and texts can shed light on our roles as caregivers.
