A Panel Discussion on Halacha, Aging, and End-of-Life Care
On January 12, Ematai led a special event in partnership with Congregation Bnai Yeshurun and the RCBC. Rabbi Elliot Schrier moderated and the panelists included Rabbi Mordechai Willig, Dr. Moshe Cohn, Dr. Reena Gottesman, and Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody. The panel discussed truth telling to patients, nutrition & hydration, dementia, pain control at end of life, and other important topics. The recording is available below.
