Abstract:

As Jewish communal professionals, we struggle with the balance between the time spent at work and our own personal time. Although we all agree upon the theoretical importance of taking care of ourselves, too few of us practice self-care consciously and actively. This article argues that self-care is a requisite, not an option in our lives.
