Unleashing the Power of Jewish Tradition in Healthcare: A Bioethic of Responsibility

By Rabbi Jason Weiner, a seasoned healthcare practitioner with 15 years of experience, Care and Covenant: A Jewish Bioethic of Responsibility explores the significant contributions of Jewish tradition to contemporary healthcare deliberations.

A Fresh Perspective on Bioethical Dilemmas

Unlike traditional approaches to bioethics, Rabbi Weiner’s work focuses on personal and communal obligations, as well as social responsibilities, to develop an “ethic of responsibility.” This innovative approach encourages healthcare providers to prioritize preventing harm and providing care to all, while navigating complex moral principles and philosophical questions.

Through the lens of Jewish tradition, Weiner applies unique and inspiring values to address critical issues in healthcare. Each chapter delves into thought-provoking questions, such as:

• What are the expectations of a society or government in healthcare?
• How do we balance our obligations to others with our own moral principles, safety, and ability to assist?

Analytical, Philosophical, and Evidence-Based Scholarship

Care and Covenant provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to bioethics, combining analytical, philosophical, and evidence-based research to guide discussions on ethics in healthcare. This groundbreaking work is an essential resource for healthcare professionals, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of ethics and healthcare.
