Abstract:

"Sacred Aging" is a project of the Department of Jewish Family Concerns of the Union for Reform Judaism. It emerged out of the department's work in examining the last decade and a half of population studies that clearly showed the growing "trend to older," which has now become a reality within the North American Jewish community.
