When catastrophe strikes, Prof. Bar-On and his Sheba Medical Center team are often the first emergency responders on the ground. From a volcano eruption in Guatemala to earthquakes in Haiti to cholera outbreaks in Zambia, their humanitarian missions bring hope and cutting-edge medicine to victims often abandoned by the rest of the world.

A renowned pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Prof. Bar-on is the first director of the recently established Israel Center for Disaster Medicine and Humanitarian Response. He and his team embody the true spirit of tikkun olam, repairing the world.

Prof. Bar-On will speak at Adath Israel Congregation on Sunday, October 21 at 7 p.m. The event is free, and guests can register to attend at https://www.gifttool.com/registrar/ShowEventDetails?ID=2235&EID=26081.
