Bedside Halacha: <\/em><\/a>A Practical Guide for Healthcare Professionals<\/em><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Bedside Halacha\u00a0<\/em>fills a gap in the medical halacha literature, offering comprehensive guidance on how to navigate the intersection of modern medicine and Jewish law. Based on traditional and authoritative Jewish sources, this volume provides practical guidance to physicians, nurses, a broad range of healthcare providers, as well as patients and their caregivers, on how to apply Jewish law with diligence, nuance, and compassion in complex and challenging medical situations. It is written with clarity and brevity, designed to be used when it may be impractical to consult a halachic authority, such as on Shabbat or when a medical decision must be made imminently.<\/p>

This work covers major halachic topics including Shabbat, holidays, prayer, yichud, negiah, various medical practices, end-of-life care, restrictions concerning Kohanim, and other issues, in an accessible and systematic manner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tOrder Now\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

CARE and COVENANT: A Jewish Bioethic of Responsibility<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Jewish tradition has important perspectives, history, and wisdom that can contribute significantly to crucial contemporary healthcare deliberations. Care and Covenant: A Jewish Bioethic of Responsibility<\/em> demonstrates how numerous classic Jewish texts can contribute significant new ideas to some of the most urgent debates in the world of medicine today. Rabbi Jason Weiner draws on 15 years of experience of working in a hospital as a practitioner to develop an “ethics of responsibility”.<\/p>\n

This book seeks to develop an approach to bioethical dilemmas that is primarily informed by personal and communal obligations as well as social responsibilities. Weiner applies some unique and inspiring values found in Judaism to encourage healthcare providers to remain dedicated to preventing harm and providing appropriate care to all. Each chapter investigates relevant philosophical questions such as what the expectations of a society or government are and what we should do when our obligations to others violate our own moral principles, safety or ability to assist.<\/p>\n

Care and Covenant<\/em> provides analytical, philosophical and evidence-based scholarship to guide discussions on ethics in healthcare.<\/p>\n
