Description
As people live ever longer lives due to technology, the problem of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease (what used to be called senility) is one that affects all society. What to do with the elderly who have memory, thinking, and behavior issues, which negatively impact their ability to function? How should we relate to them? Specifically, do their children have a responsibility to take care of them? How much of a child’s time and finances should be given to help a parent suffering from Alzheimer's? This podcast will discuss the Jewish perspective on these issues, based on the ancient sources.
