On Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, the Sarnoff center joined the Makom Solel Lakeside community for an engaging program on hereditary cancer in the Jewish community. The discussion featured the Sarnoff Center’s Genetic Counselor, Scott M. Weissman, alongside Vanessa Ehrlich, Makom Solel’s Director of Lifelong Learning. Together, they explored what hereditary cancer syndromes are, why they matter (especially in Jewish populations), and how the Sarnoff Center’s new Hereditary Cancer Testing Program provides personalized insights and actionable results.
The Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics is a supporting foundation of the Jewish United Fund, and is supported in part by the Michael Reese Health Trust.
