title: [Spirituality--the French concept of secularity--Judaism and care].
abstract: Judaism is based on faith in one God who gives us life. The believer must follow a certain number of laws and rules to draw closer to God. Healthcare professionals are sometimes at a loss as to how to follow them and need assistance in implementing them in order to meet Jewish patients' needs in the best way they can.
