Counseling, Home and Hospital Visits, and Private Study with the Rabbi

Spiritual Counseling, Home and Hospital Visits, and Private Study

Do you have a loved one in the hospital, hospice, or retirement home who would be comforted by a visit with the Rabbi?

Rabbi Shavit-Lonstein will visit your loved one at your location. Depending on the situation, the rabbinic visit may include prayers of comfort, prayers of healing, or simply an opportunity to speak with a non-anxious presence. Often, the elderly are soothed by the Jewish melodies, which they recognize from their past. Sometimes, they want to talk or sit quietly with the Rabbi by their side.

In addition to home visits, Rabbi Shavit-Lonstein also offers private study, pastoral counseling, and spiritual counseling at our office in Longmont and online.

Rabbi Korngold continues to offer spiritual counseling online.

The fee for Rabbi Shavit-Lonstein is $225/hour on Zoom or at our office and $360 for home visits (up to a 30-minute drive each way).

The fee for Rabbi Korngold is $250/hour on Zoom.
