Our Mission
Bay Area Jewish Healing Center is dedicated to providing Jewish spiritual care to those living with illness, to those caring for the ill, and to the bereaved through direct service, education and training, and information and referral.

Established in 1991 as the nation’s first Jewish healing center, Bay Area Jewish Healing Center provides chaplaincy and support services to anyone who wants to see a rabbi, regardless of affiliation or financial resources.

A program of the Institute on Aging, we receive generous support from the Jewish Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties, and various foundations and individuals.
