Crisis or Challenge Eli Birnbaum

We live in an age where disaster and terror literally reside at our doorstep. Whether we experience it first hand or live it virtually through social and other media, it is essential that we be equipped with the means to enable us and those we love, to meet this unfortunate challenge. Crisis or Challenge examines the complexity of death and mourning as a part of life. It presents guidance and tools for coping when death is the result of terror, war, or natural disasters. The new edition includes dealing with social isolation and pandemics, as well as a new chapter which opens a window into how different religions have dealt historically with death and mourning. In addition, the book offers a unique window into Jewish traditional views and approaches for overcoming these challenges.
