From 1991 to 2010, The Jewish Healing Center, which became part of The Jewish Board in 1999, published a series of newsletters called The Outstretched Arm that helped define Jewish Healing and how to achieve wholeness through it. This was done by looking within Judaism and the Jewish community to develop resources, activities, environments, and structures to help Jews heal. The path to this discovery included understanding and retrieving healing traditions and
inspiring and creating new ones.
Below is an archive of these newsletters, so future generations can learn from them and use them on their own paths to healing.
