Spiritual care is an increasingly important component of end of life care. As it emerges in Israel, it is intentionally built on a nonclerical model. Based on interviews with spiritual care providers in Israel, we find that they help patients and families talk about death and say goodbyes. They encourage the wrapping up of unfinished business, offer diverse cultural resources that can provide meaning, and use presence and touch to produce connection. As spiritual care emerges in Israel, providers are working with patients at the end of life in ways they see as quite distinct from rabbis. They offer broad frames of meaning to which patients from a range of religious traditions can connect.
精神关怀是临终关怀中日益重要的组成部分。在以色列，它是基于非神职人员模式有意构建的。通过对以色列精神关怀提供者的访谈，我们发现他们帮助患者及其家人谈论死亡并道别。他们鼓励了结未竟之事，提供能赋予意义的各种文化资源，并通过陪伴和触摸建立联系。随着精神关怀在以色列的兴起，提供者以他们认为与拉比截然不同的方式与临终患者合作。他们提供广泛的意义框架，来自不同宗教传统的患者都能与之建立联系。
