Rabbi Dr. Rob Jury

Selected Publications

My publications reflect sustained work at the intersection of Jewish life, chaplaincy, counseling, spiritual care, teaching, and professional formation. I write about meaning-making, narrative practice, spiritually integrated care, Jewish texts and interpretive traditions, and the ways religious and spiritual frameworks shape care, learning, and communal life.
