Emotional support at the end of life. Thorny halachic questions about scientific medical breakthoughs. AI and the end of work.

These are all part of the Rabbi Jason Weiner's daily routine.

Rabbi Weiner is the senior rabbi and executive director of spiritual care at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. In this episode we cover:

• What a healthcare chaplain actually does, and how Rabbi Weiner fell into the role with almost no training
• The hardest moments of sitting with grieving families, including an uplifting story that took nearly 20 years to find its ending
• How Torah sources think about medical breakthroughs like CRISPR and GLP-1 drugs
• His essay on AI and the end of work: if a machine takes your job, does it take your identity too?
