In this episode of Breaking the Narrative, host Jesse sits down with two bold voices from the medical world: Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa, and Dr. Lior Bibas, a cardiologist and president of the Association of Jewish Physicians of Quebec. Together, they explore the growing threat of antisemitism, not just in public discourse but within healthcare settings, academia, and professional life.
Through candid conversation, they shed light on the challenges of speaking out against hatred in professional environments and the responsibility each of us has to confront antisemitism when we see it. We hope you enjoy the episode.
