Tree of Life: Addiction Recovery: Finding Strength in Judaism (Pack of 10) : Finding Strength in Judaism

An information and resource guide to addiction recovery through the lens of Jewish wisdom to support congregants and community members.

Addiction, especially to opioids, is a quiet, growing crisis in our Jewish communities. Addiction doesn't discriminate. It affects families in synagogues, classrooms, camps, and boardrooms. But Jewish tradition offers strength, resilience, and healing. Weaving in Jewish wisdom, this guide explores the stigmas and misconceptions about addiction and evidence-based treatment options.

Written by Rabbi Kerry Olitzky, the author of Twelve Jewish Steps to Recovery, 100 Blessings Every Day: Daily Twelve Step Recovery Affirmations, and several other titles relate to addiction recover. He is the former national adviser at JACS (Jewish Alcoholics Chemically Dependent Persons and Significant Others) and has spoken to Jewish groups nationwide about addiction.

This 8-page pamphlet, sold in packs of 10, includes a connection to Jewish texts, resources from both within and outside the Jewish community, and a ritual-such as a blessing or meditation—to offer ongoing support and coping mechanisms. (The 5 x 7" pamphlets are designed to fit existing racks)
