Plaza Jewish Community Chapel Continues Its Service to the Jewish Community
Presents 14th Bereavement Conference to a full house of professionals and lay leaders.
New York, NY, October 01, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Plaza Jewish Community Chapel recently presented their 14th Bereavement Conference, "The Cross Section of Medicine and Spiritual Needs" with Dr. Linda Emanuel as keynote speaker. The all-day conference included 8 workshops on topics including "Interweaving Spirituality and Religion with the Dying Patient" and "Comfort and Meaning: The Spiritual Dimensions of Aging." Stephanie Garry, Director of Community Relations for Plaza Jewish says “These workshops provide a venue for our attendees to interact with our presenters, gain valuable insights into the issues and network with their peers.”
The conference was attended by 150 and was geared to Clergy and Chaplains. “Plaza Jewish understands that the funeral is not the end of the grieving process. It is just the beginning. We, at Plaza Jewish believe that it is incumbent upon us to explore various issues surrounding the loss of loved ones, within the Community we serve” said Stephanie Garry. Collectively, over 1500 professionals and lay leaders have attended Plaza's conferences since 2001.
In addition to their Bereavement Conferences, Plaza Jewish also offers ongoing programs for the community including "Talking to Children about death" for parents of young children, "Jewish Burial 101" for Intro to Judaism class, and "Getting your house in Order" for adults in the community.
