The prayer practices of rabbis during pastoral visits
Abstract:
Reports on an informal survey of rabbis (N = 20) on their attitudes and practices regarding praying with patients. Concludes that although Jewish clergy do not tend to integrate prayer into their pastoral practices to the extent that non-Jewish clergy do, they do express a wide array of interests in the use of prayer and appear eager to learn more about prayer in their pastoral care of hospital patients and their families. Discusses the results and suggests possible future research on the topic.
