Interfaith Chaplain Marcie Greenfield Simons & Times of Israel “State of Jerusalem” Documentaries

This month we’re talking Marcie Greenfield Simons about what it’s like to be an interfaith chaplain in these intense covid times.  

And for our second segment we’re talking about a series of video documentaries from the Times of Israel about three somewhat neglected populations within Jerusalem: secular Jews, Christians, and Arabs who might want to become Israeli citizens. 

First segment

Marcie Greenfield Simons was formerly a Jewish educator and then Director of PJ Library, before she pursued a third career as an Interfaith hospital chaplain. She currently serves in that role at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, MA. 

Second segment
