Jewish Paths Toward Healing and Wholeness

Why me? Why do we suffer? How can we heal? Olitzky brings together his inspiring guidance in using Jewish texts with his own experience dealing with illness in others -- including those he loves -- to demonstrate how the healing of the soul is an indispensable counterpart to the curing of the body.
