"Expedition to Everest": A Visit with Author Mimi Zieman, MD

Join us for a discussion of Tap Dancing on Everest: A Young Doctor's Unlikely Adventure with the author Mimi Zieman in collaboration with the Jewish Community Center's Cultural Arts & Book Series.

The daughter of a Holocaust survivor and immigrant mother, Zeiman was once an aspiring dancer. She spent a childhood with demanding parents who did not understand her choices and what’s more, disapproved of them. Her adventures took her to a kibbutz in Israel as well as a Rocky Mountain climbing camp. Fast forward a number of years, and she is in her third year of medical school. Zeiman is asked to accompany mountain climbers as they attempt to access a new route to the most dangerous side of Mount Everest. They do this without a sherpa or sufficient oxygen. This riveting story will hold you spellbound as you navigate the journey with her.
