Qesher Book Club — ‘The Dressmaker’s Mirror: Sudden Death, Genetics, and a Jewish Family’s Secret’

Hosted By: Qesher

Qesher Book Club discusses “The Dressmaker’s Mirror,” which traces a geneticist’s search for answers after her pregnant niece’s sudden death led to the discovery of a previously unknown heart disease gene and an Ashkenazi Jewish mutation. The book weaves family history and personal loss with accessible explanations of genetics and the medical revolution now underway. It also raises urgent questions about genetic testing as a tool for protecting family health and preventing sudden death.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
