Join us for a light breakfast and a conversation with Temple Emanu-El’s own Peter Newman, author of In Harm’s Way: Medicine, Healing, and Hope Around the World.
Through vivid stories drawn from experiences across the Amazon, the Arctic, Africa and beyond, Peter reflects on a life in medicine shaped by encounters with people, communities and cultures around the world. His stories explore not only medical challenges, but also the deeply human questions that arise when caring for others: how we connect across differences, how vulnerability shapes both patient and physician, and what it means to offer healing in unfamiliar and often difficult circumstances.
Blending compelling medical dilemmas with memorable journeys, In Harm’s Way offers a personal look at medicine, humanity and the relationships that can form in extraordinary places.
