Hadassah On Call:
New Frontiers in Medicine
Join us as we go behind the scenes at Hadassah hospitals in Jerusalem, introducing our listeners to the health care superheroes who save lives every day. Meet the eye doctor who made a blind patient see, the ALS researcher who discovered that patients with a positive attitude feel less pain and the maverick pediatric nephrologist who devised an ingenious way for his young patients to perform better in elementary school. Plus, you’ll hear the inspiring stories of how those from different cultural and religious backgrounds work together to provide cutting-edge health care to all in need.

The Branch
A Podcast About Arab-Jewish Connections
The Branch takes listeners into the everyday lives of Jews and Arabs in Israel forging meaningful relationships — at Hadassah hospitals, and far and wide, too, through feminism and rap music, social activism and ice cream, and even on a farm and in an Arab fishing village. Hosted by veteran journalist Dina Kraft from 2018-2021, The Branch shines a light on the stories of real people, creating shared society. Together. Even though it’s complicated.
Their stories are just as powerful and inspiring today as they were when the first aired. Listen now.
