« Motorcycle Clubs and Hospital Chaplain Respond with Compassion to the Crisis in Haiti-- by Dr. Belen Gonzalez y Perez | Main | FINAL: 2010 CPSP PLENARY WORKSHOP SCHEDULE SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2010 »
The National Association of Jewish Chaplains (NAJC) is inviting representatives of the CPSP community to attend a conference in Israel which will gather together organizations involved in spiritual care. This is a very exciting time in Israel as they develop chaplaincy. CPSP has been in the forefront of this effort with CPSP Diplomate, Rabbi Zahara Davidowitz supervising CPSP CPE programs in Jerusalem through the Schecter Seminary for the past three years. Zaharah’s CPSP CPE program is the cornerstone of the emerging consortium of spiritual care organizations.
The NAJC has invited ten representatives of CPSP and ten from ACPE to be part of this ground breaking conference to be held in May in Jerusalem. There will be instantaneous translation from Hebrew to English at the conference. After the two day conference the representatives from the US will enjoy a bus tour of Israel with opportunity to dialogue about ways we might cooperate in developing CPE in Israel and inviting Israeli CPE students to come to the US for a unit of training.
From the NY/NJ Chapter, Rabbi David Glicksman and I have signed up to go. We are looking for about five more CPSP people who want to be part of this venture. If you are interested in going or have questions about the trip please contact me at john.develder@rwjuh.edu or telephone 732-937 8504. We want CPSP to be part of the developments in Israel.
