The Halachic Pathway—is a distinct MJHS Hospice religious observance program with a legally-binding health care proxy that is available to all members of the Jewish Diaspora—regardless of sect, tradition, economic or social background—who seek a rabbinical advisor to guide medical decisions in consultation with the patient’s physician.

They work directly with patients and their families by providing valuable companionship, assisting the bereavement staff and providing administrative office support.
