Sacred Decisions
Human Stories at the Heart of Medicine & Halacha
Every illness has two stories.
There’s the medical story: the diagnosis, the treatment, the test results. And then there’s the human story: the relationships, the uncertainty, the hope, the grief, the decisions, and the moments that stay with us forever.
Ematai’s Sacred Decisions explores those stories through conversations with patients, families, clinicians, caregivers, and rabbis. Grounded in medicine and halacha, Sacred Decisions uncovers the wisdom, challenges, and conversations that help us navigate life’s most meaningful moments.
With appreciation to Murray and Basheva Goldberg for sponsoring Sacred Decisions.
