Tune in as Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein hosts discussions with acclaimed Jewish authors, thinkers, celebrities and culinary stars.
One of the most alarming upticks in antisemitism has been in the world of medicine, which impacts doctors and patients, medical students, nurses, mental health practitioners and anyone working in health care today. How do Jewish medical professionals navigate these difficult times, and how can we, as patients, protect ourselves?
Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein speaks with a panel on the front lines of these issues: Michelle Stravitz, former CEO of the American Jewish Medical Association, founded in 2023 as a result of increased antisemitism in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023; Dr. Michelle Elisburg, a Louisville pediatrician and co-chair of Hadassah’s Physicians’ Council who has written about her experiences of anti-Israel bias on the job; and Dr. Uri Hadelsberg, Spine Fellow at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine and a prior Resident of Hadassah Medical Organization in Israel.
This episode is a special co-production with the Hadassah On Call podcast, recorded in front of a live audience in the Detroit area.
