Sacred Endings

Scientific and technological advances have created increasingly complex questions about medical care at the end of life. Sacred Endings provides a compassionate and practical halachic guide to navigating these difficult decisions with clarity and sensitivity.

Drawing on Biblical and Talmudic sources, halachic rulings, and real-life case studies, Rabbi Professor Avraham Steinberg and Dr. Ari Ciment address palliative care, DNR decisions, and other ethical and halachic dilemmas that arise during life's final chapter. Written for patients, families, healthcare professionals, and those seeking to understand the Torah perspective, this important work offers guidance for confronting some of life's most challenging decisions.
