Sinai Temple Sisterhood Presents:
What's Newish in Jewish Genetics?
Sunday, March 15, 11:00am
Sinai Temple (2800 Franklin St., Michigan City)

How has screening for Jewish genetic disorders advanced since it was first introduced in the 1970s? Genetic technologies continue to reveal more information about Jewish genetic health risks, including recessive disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease and hereditary cancers like those caused by BRCA mutations. Hear from staff at Chicago's
Norton and Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics about how genetic technologies are shaping the Jewish community, from screening to beat Tay-Sachs to shielding ourselves from cancer.
A wonderful lunch prepared by Susan Barnes will be served at noon following the presentation. $10.00/person.
RSVP to (219) 214-8942 or
