Hirshel Jaffe, called The Running Rabbi says, “For over 20 years as a rabbi, before my illness, I had helped others through crisis. I was supposed to have all the answers. Yet when I got sick, I discovered I didn’t have them. I felt confused, frightened and desperate. My experience with serious illness has made me want to share with you what I’ve learned.
When my physicians noticed how depressed I was in the hospital, they said, 'Be a rabbi—go and counsel other patients.' I did, and my energy and zest for life came back."
