Abstract:

The scope of Jewish chaplaincy has expanded greatly in recent years. Although many Jewish chaplains still serve hospitals and nursing homes, chaplains also work in community settings serving non-institutionalized populations. Changing healthcare and population trends point toward an increased need for professional Jewish chaplaincy in the future.
