In  Wise Aging: Living with Joy, Resilience, and Spirit, Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal demonstrate the tools we need to age well. With warmth, humor, and wisdom they explore a wide range of issues around aging, including: 

  • Investing in relationships with adult children and spouses
  • Befriending an aging body
  • Offering and seeking forgiveness
  • Cultivating gratitude and other aspects of well-being
  • Learning to live with loss
  • Shaping one's legacy, becoming stewards of the future

Wise Aging was conceived as the guidebook for workshops held by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. It is an inspirational, effective relationship building tool for clergy- and lay-led groups in a lifelong learning program.
