Lifecycle: Pastoral Care

Visiting someone who is unwell can bring comfort, connection and support, and each person will have their own needs during such visits, which we acknowledge and respect. Our rabbis are professionally trained in Clinical Pastoral Education and are available to visit congregants and their families during times of illness, difficulty or change.

Pastoral care is also about staying connected beyond times of crisis. Our clergy visit older congregants, including those living in nursing homes or at home, and welcome the opportunity to spend time with members of our community simply to listen, share a conversation and maintain connection.

If you or a loved one would like a visit, please call the office (9389 6444) or contact Rabbi Sam Zwarenstein ([email protected]) to arrange a visit.

Reaching out to others remains a key part of making the world a better place. Demonstrating kindness is vital to our existence as human beings.
