Healing
A large part of Rabbi Judy's rabbinate is spent visting the sick, comforting them and their families and helping them to heal or accept the inevitable end of life. Rabbi Judy uses her soothing voice and music abilities to help comfort those in need of healing.
Rabbi Judy is there to comfort families in times of need. She has conducted many funerals and unveiling ceremonies. She customizes and personalizes each service and includes the beautiful chanting of the El Male prayer. Rabbi Judy is always very conscious of explaining Jewish rituals and customs to those who attend so that everyone learns and feels comfortable. Below is a video of a healing service Rabbi Judy offered during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
