Care of the Critically Ill is a 20th-century work that translates and explains more than a dozen of Rav (“Rabbi”) Moshe Feinstein’s responsa on caring for the critically ill, written by Rav Moshe’s student and son-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Tendler. Including both responsa published in Rabbi Feinstein’s “Iggrot Moshe” as well as previously unpublished responsa, the work addresses issues like the halakhic approach to brain death and the factor of “quality of life” when deciding whether to keep terminally ill patients on life support. It also includes a biography of Rav Moshe as well as an essay co-authored by Dr. Fred Rosner about quality and sanctity of life. The release and digitization of this book was kindly sponsored by The Applebaum Foundation.
