I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me: A Book for Teens Who Have Lost a Parent

A comprehensive anthology addressing the challenges Jewish caregivers face.   This anthology (including articles by Rabbi Eytan Feiner, Rabbi Paysach Krohn, Dr. Howard Leibowitz and others) takes a multi-pronged approach to the caregiving challenge: it includes the Torah perspective on caregiving; practical, hands-on suggestions regarding the medical, physical and emotional aspects of caregiving; personal accounts; advice and legal guidance; and a review of end-of-life challenges. Includes a detachable Home Health Aide’s Guide to Basic Jewish Laws and Customs, with the haskamah of Rabbi Yisroel Belsky, zt”l. The guide can be given to an aide and/or used by the caregiver when instructing others in caring for their loved one.

A comprehensive manual introducing children and teens to the fundamental concept that Torah and mitzvos connect us to Olam Haba and to those who have passed on. Lessons can be presented in tandem with parshiyos that touch on the topic of death and burial, as well as during classes related to tragic events in current events or Jewish history. Separate programs included for lower and upper-elementary school students, as well as for teens.
