To educate and support patients and survivors and raise prostate cancer awareness, Rabbi Ed Weinsberg speaks at events across the U.S. and Canada. See the schedule below for details.
Rabbi Ed addresses the need for prostate cancer screening and describes how men and women already affected by prostate cancer can rekindle their romance and hasten recovery through humor and faith. His comments are based on his multiple-award winning book, Conquer Prostate Cancer: How Medicine, Faith, Love and Sex Can Renew Your Life, written from his perspective as a prostate cancer survivor, gerontologist and patient healthcare educator.
