In this episode of the Jewish Sacred Aging Podcast, the second part of a conversation with Rabbi Rex D. Perlmeter, director of the Jewish Wellness Center of North Jersey and a spiritual director to discuss Jewish wellness and spirituality. [spp-player] The Jewish Wellness Center was established in the summer of 2012 by Rabbi Perlmeter to fulfill the mission of working with institutions and individuals in pursuit of sh’leimut – an experience of wholeness grounded in the belief that wellness can best be achieved when addressed holistically in the four realms of human experience – the physical, psychological, intellectual and spiritual – as framed by the teachings of Jewish tradition. Through classes, services and consultations, we strive to embody and cultivate practices in each of the four for the sake of transforming lives and, through those lives, communities and worlds.
