SUMMARY:Compassionate Conversation with Dr. Yasmeen Abu Fraiha
DESCRIPTION:CLICK TO VIEW THE EVENT FLYER HERE\nThe UCLA Bedari Kindness Institute and the UCLA Dialogue across Difference Initiative are pleased to announce a new series called “Compassionate Conversations”  featuring speakers who share a deep and humane commitment to engaging others with compassion\, empathy\, and respect. \nThe series will commence with a talk by Dr. Yasmeen Abu Fraiha on Wednesday November 13\, 2024 from 4-5:30 pm. Space is limited. Students\, undergraduate and graduate\, from all disciplines are encouraged to attend! RSVP HERE \nDr. Yasmeen Abu Fraiha is a medical doctor with a specialty in internal medicine\, a humanist and self-described global citizen who upholds compassion for every human being. As a Palestinian Bedouin physician in Israel\, she was a first responder treating incoming victims of Hamas’ brutal attacks on October 7th. On that day she lost many colleagues\, friends and neighbors\, and in the subsequent weeks and months she lost friends in Gaza during Israel’s devastating military campaign. Throughout this traumatic period in her life\, she refused to surrender her sorrow or concern for all innocent victims of violence. Dr. Abu Fraiha is a physician\, health policy expert\, and activist who possesses a boundless capacity for kindness and love. \nShe is currently completing a clinical fellowship in critical care medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston as well as a fellowship at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard. In 2019 she co-founded Yanabia\, an organization that promotes socio-economic development of the Bedouin community in Israel\, while focusing on health\, education\, women’s employment\, housing and community empowerment. In 2023\, she was named one of Israel’s 50 most influential women by Globes Magazine and serves on the board of the New Israel Fund. Yasmeen holds a B.S. and M.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, and an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School. \nPlease join us to hear her remarkable story as she talks with David Myers\, director of the Bedari Kindness Institute and UCLA professor of history. \nAfter the conversation there will be an opportunity to engage in small-group dialogue and processing.
