Med­i­cine helped me heal; Judaism taught me how.”

In the fall of 2014, Joel A. Roff­man was diag­nosed with metasta­t­ic can­cer. Infused with Jew­ish teach­ings, Mak­ing Every Day Count chron­i­cles his diag­no­sis, treat­ment, and recov­ery from the ill­ness in a sto­ry of the mir­a­cles of mod­ern medicine.

In his dis­cus­sion of work, play, fam­i­ly and faith, Roff­man aims to pro­vide infor­ma­tion and inspi­ra­tion for those who suf­fer phys­i­cal or emo­tion­al dis­tress, hop­ing to assist read­ers in help­ing oth­ers as well.
