Pushing Away The Angel Of Death: Death Anxiety In The Talmud And Our Care For Patients And Staff
May 6, 2019 09:00 - 10:30 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:6
Death anxiety is not only something we notice when dealing with patients and even their families, but also with staff. The ideas of death anxiety are not new. There are a number of stories in the Talmud of Rabbis trying to run away from the Angel of Death. When working in a hospital setting, we recognize the need to care for the patients with how they feel about their own death, but we do not always have the discussion with the staff who are the ones to tell a person they have a terminal illness or the ones who have to take care of the dying patient. Looking at the texts of the Talmud as well as our own lived experiences as chaplains, we will explore what we can learn from the rabbis about death anxiety, and look at ways we might be able to better care for our staff, which in turn provides better care for our patients. We will also explore the implications of death anxiety on chaplains’ and staff’s ability to utilize clinical empathy with those for whom they care.
Outline/Goals of Workshop: Learn about death anxiety in Jewish text and its contemporary clinical implications Discuss and explore ways of providing pastoral care to staff surrounding the theme of death anxiety Acknowledging our own feelings about death and how they can help and hinder our care Apply the Jewish texts and contemporary research on clinical empathy to improve our own patient and staff care

Garnering Strength For The Avoda Of Spiritual Care Through Keva: Making A €˜fixed Practice' To Care For Ourselves As Caregivers
May 6, 2019 09:00 - 10:30 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:5
Via breathing exercises and meditations from Jewish sources, we will explore using our most uniquely human abilities: our ability to breathe and our senses of smell, hearing, taste, touch and sight. We will learn to center and ‘ground’ ourselves, with the intention — kavana — of cleansing and rejuvenating our energy. In this workshop we will utilize our innate potentiality with the intention of realizing and strengthening our connection with the divine. The value of incorporating meditation as part of our self-care will be discovered in our daily practice — keva. In addition to insights from the presenter, there will be an opportunity for participants to 'soul-storm' ideas they may wish to contribute in a small group-discussion framework.
Outline/Goals of Workshop Recognizing the spiritual element of our body-mind-spirit Learning to access the spirit as an energy source Searching for the ways this exercise may fit into our daily practice to recharge ourselves as we support our clients Our workshop plan: Gathering together as a group. Brief introduction to Jewish meditation Finding a comfortable position A guided dip into meditation Resurfacing — processing the exercise in small group Forming Take-away and Feed-back

A New Jewish Advance Directive
May 6, 2019 09:00 - 10:30 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:4
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has created a new way of doing advance care planning, with an innovative new Advance Directive that enables providers to get to know who a patient is and what matters to them, not only at the end of life and not just which interventions they do or don't want. Now, for the first time in 25 years, we have utilized this template to create a new JEWISH Advance Directive.
Outline/Goals of Workshop Share new Advance Directive with attendees.
Share best practices related to advance care planning and introducing advance directives to patients/surrogates.
Discuss Jewish values as they relate to end of life care, and persons who lack capacity.

Moral Distress: Clinicians Implementing Orders That Are Morally Offensive To Them
May 6, 2019 09:00 - 10:30 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:6
First identified in 1984, Moral Distress is a challenge in health care that is growing in prominence and receiving wide attention in clinical and ethics literature. Moral distress is experienced by those who, like nurses, feel caught in the middle between the needs of the patient and the demands of the family or institution. It occurs when an individual is prevented from acting on an ethical decision because of some constraint or barrier. Since moral distress often is the product of an unethical work environment, educating and empowering individuals are necessary but not sufficient responses. As chaplains, it is essential to identify and name moral distress, for only then may steps be taken to effect changes toward a more ethical work environment in the institution. This workshop defines and analyzes moral distress and suggests ways for chaplains to address it. It also identifies some Jewish perspectives.
Outline/Goals of Workshop : Objectives *To explore the concept of moral distress • To discuss Its impact on care providers as well as the care provided • To suggest strategies for dealing with moral distress *To identify the chaplain's role in addressing staff moral distress *To articulate some Jewish perspectives on moral distress

The Sacred Jewish Conversation
May 6, 2019 09:00 - 10:30 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:12
Mishkan Miami: The Jewish Connection for Spiritual Support has embarked on a program to encourage Jewish families to have The Sacred Jewish Conversation about End-of-Life Care. In partnership with The Conversation Project, we have created a community-based initiative to communicate the importance of Advanced Directives. Beyond providing the Jewish community with resources and information through conferences and websites, Mishkan Miami is training a group of facilitators who will work with various individuals to help them initiate The Sacred Jewish Conversation with their constituents. We will be working with clergy, estate attorneys, funeral home directors, long-term care facilities managers, case managers, and engaged volunteers to empower them to introduce these conversations with the constituents they serve, their friends, as well as their loved ones. In addition, Mishkan Miami has been the impetus to build a Miami-Dade, FL county-wide initiative, Conversation Miami, which is now in the process of seeking funding.
In this session, we will not only want to share materials, but also to hear about what others are doing as well in this area. We will share the following:
A model of community-based chaplaincy, and the importance of identifying End-of-Life issues that are resonant in the community.
Actual materials created, as well as the strategic goals identified.
Some Jewish dimensions of this sacred conversation to distinguish it from a secular conversation about advanced directives. We will introduce a few inspiring texts.
Some ideas for how to have End-of- Life conversations using experiential exercises and role-playing.

What’s Jewish About Jewish Chaplaincy?
May 6, 2019 10:45 - 12:15 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:10
Most of us have a good sense of pastoral identity as Jewish Chaplains. Most of us have taken CPE and are grounded in our field. But what makes us specifically “Jewish Chaplains”? What is there in Judaism that guides us in our sacred work? This session will study some of the basic Torah texts dealing with Bikur Cholim, attempting to lay out a Jewish Pastoral Theology that can guide us in our tasks.
Outline/Goals of Workshop : 1. Study basic texts on Bikur Cholim as well as develop models from them for our work, 2. Looking at specific issues including prayer, address physical needs as part of the mitzvah, explore spirituality in a health care facility, and more. 3 Studying cases from the presenter’s extensive file and ample time to discuss the texts as well as apply them to our work.

The Metaphors Of Eicha As A Tool For Helping Mourners In Their Grief Experience
May 6, 2019 10:45 - 12:15 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:7
The Book of Lamentations, Eicha, is read on Tisha Ba'av for its reference to tragedy and loss in Jerusalem. In modern times, other national tragedies are acknowledged as well. However, Eicha with its use of powerful metaphors of loss is a useful tool in assisting those who are grieving. Some life experiences cannot be explained and we struggle to understand God's ways when there may not be clear reasons. Eicha outlines the emotions of the experience of loss and grief on a personal level as well as a national one and leads us to realize that under the literal words that speak of sin and punishment on a global level, lies a deeper meaning of personal grief, reflection, healing, and hope. Looking at both the Hebrew and the English, this text study will provide insights into the metaphors found in Eicha in combination with grief theory, and the application of this text to the experience of loss, bereavement, and personal restor ation in our work with those experiencing grief.
Outline/Goals of Workshop
1. Identify metaphors in Eicha that represent the grief experience.
2. Integrate grief theory (Worden's tasks of mourning) to the Hebrew text of Eicha
3. Understand how some of the Hebrew elicits the despair and difficult emotions of grief 4. Recognize the message of hope and healing in Eicha that is mixed in with the despair 5. Discuss the application of a difficult text to difficult life experiences for people we counsel.

U'vacharta Ba-Chayim: Living The Full Catastrophe. A Workshop In Jewish Mindfulness
May 6, 2019 10:45 - 12:15 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:1
As we know from Torah, life places before us both blessing and curse. Interestingly it does not say "choose blessing" (as if we would need that instruction), but rather, "choose life." Mindfulness practice helps us develop the skills to deal with whatever life presents to us, to "choose life" even in the midst of blessing or curse, in the most skillful ways. It is not about achieving "nirvana," but rather, the ability to be with what is. As Jon Kabat -Zinn says, it is about "moment to moment non-judgmental awareness." In this experiential workshop we will explore modalities if silent meditation, Hebrew chant and walking meditation.
Outline/Goals of Workshop - To acquaint participants with the theory and uses of "Jewish Mindfulness." - To consider how this might be useful in our work settings, with clients, as part of our own "professional use of self." - To experience some of these modalities and have an opportunity to discuss them with colleagues.

What Would You Do If Your Chaplaincy Position Were Eliminated
May 7, 2019 14:15 - 15:45 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:15
In the Joe Cocker classic song, “With a Little Help from My Friends” the lyrics ask “What would you do if I sang out of key….would you stand up and walk out on me?” I like to reframe this idea and think, what would I do, ‘if your employer stood up and walked out on you’? Are you prepared? What would you do if you could not secure a funded and meaningful chaplaincy position, what would you do with your time, what would you do for income, what would you do with your Chaplain, Rabbinic and or Judaic training? In the shifting health care system, many of us have seen full time and compensated full time positions with benefits disappear in an organizational redesign. We have seen ‘chaplaincy’ redesigned in the system, and unfortunately our position is either downsized or eliminated. What would you do?
Outline/Goals of Workshop In this interactive session participants will be challenged to explore and identify their marketable skills. Participants will explore the array of other options where they can utilize and their skills in new work environments that they may not have considered. Participants will leave the session with ideas of what new skills they need to master so that they can apply for positions outside of chaplaincy.

Mandalas Of Spiritual Awakening: Stages Of Change & The MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument)
May 7, 2019 14:15 - 15:45 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:5
The MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) offers the opportunity for chaplains to utilize mandalas as both a spiritual intervention and as a spiritual assessment.

End Of Life Considerations Co-Presentation
May 8, 2019 10:30 - 12:00 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:945
Through a diverse panel, we will explore the role of Jewish values in end of life care decision-making and how we as chaplains can best serve our patients. How do changing laws in physician assisted death, as well as the history around it, impact our spiritual care? For those who do not find their voices in halacha, where might guiding values come? And for those who do, what are the clear halachic guidelines? Through case studies, text and lively discussion, we will explore what ‘Jewish’ means for the populations we serve as well as the ethical dilemmas faced in end of life care decision-making.
Outline/Goals of Workshop:
1. Create a safe space for conversation about the myriad of views of Jewish end of life care.
2. Empower chaplains to introduce the topic of end of life with their clients in meaningful conversation about their end of life wishes.
3. Remove stigma and unease around the topic of death.

Baruch Hashem, I’m An Atheist: Challenges And Opportunities In Providing Relevant Spiritual Care In The U.S. And Israel
May 8, 2019 10:30 - 12:00 Fee: $0.00 Seats Remaining:955
What does it mean when patients - and chaplains - describe themselves as Atheist, None, or Spiritual Not Religious? Is there a significant difference, and are these numbers on the rise? If we dig deeper into the data on patients, a more nuanced picture arises which we should consider as the deliverers of spiritual care in the U.S. and Israel. In this two-part presentation, we will draw on research and our own clinical experience in both countries to discuss self-identity and the delivery of relevant care for Atheist, None, or Spiritual Not Religious in the context of the unique cultural and historical factors. We will also touch on the phenomenon of spiritual caregivers who identify as Spiritual Not Religious, Atheist, and Humanist.
