Jewish Ethics and Genetics

Join Sharsheret for an engaging discussion exploring the halachic (Jewish law) connections with genetic cancer screening. We will hear important information from medical experts about the increased risk within the Jewish community and learn what the Torah and rabbis teach us about being proactive about our health.

Gynecologic Cancer Program; Rabbi Dr. Jason Weiner, BCC, Sr. Rabbi & Director, Spiritual Care Department, Cedars-Sinai, and Christina Rybak, MS, CGC, Licensed Genetic Counselor, City of Hope Orange County.
