Caregiving

As humans, we are all caregivers for each other – as the Talmud reminds us (Shevuot 39a), kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh – all of Israel are responsible for each other. Some of us find our roles as caregivers because of life experiences, some of us through our own interest and strengths, and many thanks to both. Whether we are caregivers due to our personal or professional responsibilities, or both, we are lucky enough to be witness to individuals in their full humanity and vulnerability. As such, we also must take care of ourselves in order to be fully present with the Other, reflecting our own humanity and vulnerability back to the people for whom we care.
