National Center for Jewish Healing

A service, educational and resource agency which draws on Jewish tradition and Jewish communal resources to address the spiritual needs of Jews who are ill, their families and friends, caregivers and rabbis, and health care professionals.
The National Center for Jewish Healing (NCJH) was established in 1994 in response to a national upsurge of interest in reclaiming ancient Jewish spiritual wisdom and resources that foster wholeness, hope, comfort and connection in the face of illness and loss.

Currently there are over 30 healing centers in North America and a dynamic cadre of professionals offering education and consultation on Jewish healing and program development. Increasingly, Jewish healing community networks of care are being forged through partnerships between key communal organizations, such as Jewish family service agencies, Jewish community centers, synagogues and human service organizations, to name a few. Jewish healing continues to be a vibrant and growing field.
