Breast Cancer Bonds Jewish, Muslim Women

ransforming Darkness into
Light" was a special program
about Jewish and Muslim breast
cancer survivors in Israel held at the Isaac
Agree Downtown Synagogue.
Ruth Ebenstein, an Orthodox woman
diagnosed with breast cancer while
still nursing her baby, spoke about her
personal experiences overcoming this
disease when she joined a support group
of Muslim and Jewish women and met
an amazing Muslim Palestinian mother
named Ibtisam Erekat.
Together they struggled through and
became close friends. Ebenstein saw first-
hand the difficulties Jewish and Muslim
women of modest financial means face

when dealing with women's health issues
in Israel. Today, she lobbies the Knesset
and works with Hadassah Medical Center
in Jerusalem to promote women's health
for those with the greatest need.
Originally from Detroit, Ebenstein is
a teacher, writer and social activist in
Jerusalem. Proceeds from her lectures
support cancer care for needy Muslim
and Jewish women in Israel.
LADS members were joined by local
Jews and Muslims at the program, which
was sponsored by LADS and the Detroit
Interfaith Outreach Network. Mitchel and
Barbara Blum-Alexander, Liz Kannon
and Rabbi Dorit Edut organized the
event. *
