Hadassah Magazine Presents Antisemitism in Health Care: Analyzing the Symptoms & Possible Treatments
**A Special Live Podcast Event in Metro Detroit From Hadassah Magazine
Presents & Hadassah On Call**
Join _Hadassah Magazine_ Executive Editor Lisa Hostein in a live conversation
with a panel on the front lines of antisemitism in health care. We’ll hear
from 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 firsthand experiences of anti-Israel bias on the job; Dr. Uri
Hadelsberg, a Hadassah Medical Organization staff member currently in North
America on a spine fellowship; and other experts. **Enhanced dessert reception
to follow.**
We’ve heard the reports of rising global antisemitism and seen the horrific
news when it’s led to violence. One of the most alarming upticks has been in
the world of medicine. Antisemitism affects doctors and patients, medical
students, nurses, mental health practitioners and anyone working in health
care today. [As

in _Hadassah Magazine_ , “Instead of the support they expected from peers,
Jewish practitioners in hospitals, clinics and health care facilities have
found themselves marginalized for perceived Zionist sympathies, attacked on
social media and shunned in professional forums.”
Why is this happening? What can be done to curb it? How do Jewish medical
professionals navigate these difficult times, and how can we, as patients,
protect ourselves?
