Rabbi Rudansky’s presence—whether listening, helping MJHS Hospice patients be at peace, supporting families at any hour or being there for colleagues—helps ensure individuals experiencing an end-of-life journey feel heard, respected as well as cared for with compassion, dignity and respect.
“I’m a rabbi but my role goes far beyond religion,” he says. “At MJHS Hospice, I support patients, families and colleagues by listening intently and asking thoughtful questions that help people find their own answers. Our conversations might include life review, coping strategies, preparing for a loss or discussing the dying process, along with prayer, funeral planning and burial arrangement.” Rabbi Rudansky adds, “I’m often on call at night when pain and loneliness can feel most intense for patients and their loved ones. In those moments, I listen and help patients as well as families navigate whatever they’re feeling and thinking—such as fear, stress, anxiety, uncertainty, peace, relief, hope, grief or a host of other emotions. I also support colleagues as they process the loss of their patients. Sometimes it’s not what you say but how you show up. Every day I say it’s an honor to be part of someone’s end-of-life journey.”
Thank you rabbi for all you do.
