Healing Through Knowledge: Jewish Wisdom and the Fight Against Cancer

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

Join us as we come together for an empowering discussion facilitated by Sharsheret about the unique risks and issues that impact Jewish women and families personally affected by, or at elevated genetic risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Explore the Jewish response to the new science of pre-implantation genetic testing of embryos. Learn life-saving information and explore how community members and Sharsheret can help.
