The Rabbi and the Nuns The Inside Story of a Rabbi's Therapeutic Work with the Sisters of St. Francis What happens when an Orthodox Chassidic Rabbi becomes director of psychiatry at a Catholic hospital, treating nuns who have problems adjusting to the Vatican II reforms? The Rabbi and the Nuns chronicles the highlights of a twenty-year working relationship between Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski and the nuns and priests of the Pittsburgh Diocese and St. Francis Hospital. Spearheading a groundbreaking rehab program, Rabbi Twerski and the nuns develop a working connection that transcends their religious differences, forges mutual respect, and brings them to a whole new level in ecumenical relations. Insightful, inspiring, and humorous at times, Rabbi Twerski's personal account is frank and engrossing. Readers are given a rare glimpse into the inner world of spiritual leaders as they grapple with their personal struggles to adjust to today's tumultuous times. About the Author Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski served for twenty years as the director of the department of psychiatry at St. Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is the founder and Medical Director Emeritus of The Gateway Rehabilitation Center, a nationally recognized leader in the treatment of substance-abuse addiction with a network of more than 20 inpatient and outpatient facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio. He is the author of more than sixty books and has been featured in hundreds of magazines and newspapers. Rabbi Twerski is the scion of great Chassidic dynasties and traces his ancestry back to the Baal Shem Tov, founder of the Chassidic movement. He has lectured extensively on chemical dependency and other topics such as stress, self-esteem, and spirituality, and has traveled the world as a spokesman for recovery on behalf of the millions who have achieved it, inspiring and encouraging those still finding their way.
