We all are growing older. "A Heart of Wisdom "shows us how to
understand and meet the challenges of our own process of aging and
the aging of those we care about from a Jewish perspective, from
midlife through the elder years.
How does Jewish tradition influence our own aging? What are the
tasks and the meaning of aging? How does being Jewish inform our
relationships with the elderly? How does living, thinking and
worshipping as a Jew affect us as we age? How can Jewish tradition
help us retain our dignity as we age?
Over 40 contributors people who themselves are dealing with the
unique life passages that aging brings; their loved ones; and the
rabbis, social workers, and other professionals who assist them
offer their insights about the changes and new perspectives that
come with aging, retiring, growing, learning, caring for elderly
parents, living, and dying. By sharing experiences in direct and
personal narratives, poems, ceremonies, and stories, they help us
explore: What traditional religious texts have to teach us about
aging. Ways to cherish the integrity of the aging process. Women's
unique roles as they age in our changing society. Advice for all
generations on how to meet the opportunities and difficulties of
aging. Creative ceremonies to mark milestones in our lives and in
the lives of senior citizens.
Offering enlightenment from Jewish tradition, " A Heart of
Wisdom" is not just for the middle-aged, the old or the soon-to-be
old. It is for all of us.
