How to find the spiritual riches that come in the final stage of life.

Old age is not a time of death; it is a phase of life. On THE SPIRITUAL ELDER, you will gain a new understanding of old age, based on Rabbi Zalman Schachter's joy-filled work at the Spiritual Eldering Project. His premise is compelling: that the final period of life can be just as pleasureable...just as full of significant moments...as the first. Old age, he teaches, is an opportunity to find a satisfaction that we will never again experience. Here Rabbi Schachter offers the life-affirming thoughts that have brought a renewed spiritual meaning into the lives of seniors from all faiths and backgrounds.

THE SPIRITUAL ELDER is for seniors, their families, and care-givers...anyone interested in learning new ways of making each day of life a unique and fulfilling experience.

Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi is founder and director of the Spiritual Eldering Project and the P'nai Or Religious Fellowship in Philadelphia. Rabbi Schachter was a professor of religion at the University of Manitoba and Temple University for more than 30 years.
