Abstract:
In an aging Jewish community, the need to educate professionals in both Jewish life and gerontology is immediate, as is the need to create a climate that will actively encourage the development of new approaches to Jewish aging. The recent establishment of Jewish family education as a specialty provides a model for how to advance the Jewish gerontology agenda.
