D.D.,Ph.D.,LPC as a Pastoral Counselor I am trained in both psychology and theology and thus can provide psychological as well as spiritual guidance to patients and families in health care settings. I perform a variety of tasks including conducting religious masses, delivering religious rites and ordinances, and providing counseling and companionship to patients and family members. I also work with hospital staff to provide ethical and spiritual direction and instruction on religious practices and beliefs.As a Pastoral counselors I differ from other mental health professionals in three distinct ways: (1) I am trained in two disciplines, psychology and theology; (2) the educational requirements are different, usually requiring a Master of Divinity degree plus other academic work; (3) I am a doctor, However I cannot prescribe medicine. I do, however, work closely with other medical professionals as part of a team to insure that all of the physical and emotional needs of the patient are being met.As a Pastoral counselors I must also remain aware of counselor-client confidentiality, even though state laws concerning this vary greatly. Individuals interested in pastoral counseling should have a solid academic background, enjoy helping a wide variety of people, and have a deep understanding of theology and spirituality.

Experience & Qualifications

My Experience and Qualifications with the Bible as the central religious text of Judaism and Christianity.[1] Modern Judaism generally recognizes a single set of canonical books known as the Tanakh, or Hebrew or Jewish Bible.[2] It comprises three parts: the Torah ("Teaching", also known as the Pentateuch or "Five Books of Moses"), the Prophets, and the Writings. It was primarily written in Hebrew with some small portions in Aramaic.[3] Most of Protestant Christianity uses the books of the Tanakh, in a different order, as the Old Testament. Other Christian groups, such and the Catholics and Orthodox, include additional books in their Old Testament, called the Deuterocanonical Books, or the Apocrypha. The Christian Bible includes both the Old Testament and a collection of newer canonical books known as the New Testament.

(biblion),[6] "paper" or "scroll," the ordinary word for "book", which was originally a diminutive of ß?ß??? (byblos, "Egyptian papyrus"), possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician port Byblos from whence Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece. Biblical scholar Mark Hamilton states that the Greek phrase Ta biblia ("the books") was "an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books several centuries before the time of Jesus,"[7] and would have referred to the Septuagint.[8] The Online Etymology Dictionary states, "The Christian scripture was referred to in Greek as Ta Biblia as early as c.223."[4] Jewish canon Part of a series on Judaism Portal | Category Jewish religious movements Orthodox (Haredi · Hasidic · Modern) Conservative · Reform Reconstructionist · Renewal · Humanistic Rabbinic · Karaite · Samaritanism Jewish philosophy Principles of faith · Kabbalah · Messiah · Ethics Chosenness · Names of God · Mussar Religious texts Tanakh (Torah·Nevi'im·Ketuvim) ?umash · Siddur · Piyutim · Zohar Rabbinic literature (Talmud·Midrash·Tosefta) Religious Law Mishneh Torah · Tur Shulchan Aruch · Mishnah Berurah Kashrut · Tzniut · Tzedakah · Noahide laws Holy cities Jerusalem · Safed · Hebron · Tiberias Important figures Abraham · Isaac · Jacob Moses · Aaron · David · Solomon Sarah · Rebecca · Rachel · Leah Rabbinic sages Jewish life cycle Brit · Pidyon haben · Bar/Bat Mitzvah · Marriage Niddah · Bereavement Religious roles Ra
