Get Into Your Genes: Genetics & Family Planning

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 22 Iyar 5785

7:00 PM - 8:00 PMOnline

We are excited to partner with the Norton and Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics for this important and informative webinar!

 

 

1 in 4 individuals with Jewish ancestry is a “carrier” for a recessive genetic disorder —and likely doesn’t know it. Discover the importance of genetics and carrier screening at this webinar featuring Genetic Counselor Scott M. Weissman from the Norton and Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics. Whether or not you're currently in the family planning stage, the Jewish community has an important role to play. Scott will provide background on genetics and the disorders more commonly screened for in the Jewish population, and the easy process to get screened right from your home!

 

This information is especially relevant to the Makom & Or Chadash communities, who may be interested in family planning now or later in this life stage, but all Temple Sholom members are welcome!
