Written in a non-technical style and requiring no specialized medical or Jewish knowledge, Jews in Medicine will appeal to readers interested in the fascinating history of Jewish contributions to medicine. Combining the author’s passions for medicine and Jewish studies, this text highlights the extraordinary contributions made by Jewish physicians over the ages. The book focuses on the relationship of Jews and medicine in Islamic and Christian lands, offering a short description of Jewish history of the period followed by accounts of individual Jewish physicians and their major contributions, divided into the regions in which they lived. It ends with a description of Jewish physicians (often non-practicing) who were leaders in the Zionist movement, and those who contributed to the development of medicine in the State of Israel.
