The Talmud teaches that a single caring visit to a sick person removes 1/60 of the person's illness. Every day Jewish chaplains provide their caring presence to those suffering from illnesses and various forms of spiritual distress. Jewish chaplains help reduce distress and suffering one person at a time and help the unseen feel seen. The Neshama Association of Jewish chaplains or NAJC is the professional organization of Jewish chaplains worldwide. Professional Jewish chaplains are trained in evidence based practices of spiritual care, and they also draw from the wisdom of Jewish tradition.
