WHAT IS THE JEWISH ENCOUNTER WITH MODERN MEDICINE?
This project, the page that you’re looking at, is part of YU Museum’s exhibition, Trail of the Magic Bullet: The Jewish Encounter with Modern Medicine, 1860-1960. The exhibition looks at the the experience and effect of Jewish doctors on developing the field of modern medicine, Jewish public health institutions, and asks how Jewish tradition and philosophy address the ever-emerging bioethical concerns in contemporary medicine. You can find out much more about the exhibition by visiting the exhibition show page.
