Product Description
As more of our population joins the ranks of the elderly, we will confront as never before our attitudes toward the aging process, the aged, and our obligations to them. For all of usOA old, young, and in-between A Heart of Wisdom explores aging from a Jewish perspective: How does being Jewish influence our relationships with the elderly? How does being Jewish influence our own aging? How does living, thinking, and worshipping as a Jew affect us as we age? How do we retain our dignity as we age? This anthology helps us to meet the challenge of understanding and adjusting to a new stage in life. Through essays, poetry, and short stories, over 50 contributors rabbis, authors, social workers, psychologists share their insights about aging, retiring, caring for their elderly parents, living, loving, learning, and dying. An extensive resource section includes an annotated bibliography, a guide to services for the aged, and suggestions for ceremonies to mark milestones in the life of senior citizens.
