Dr. Emily Steier's Journey to Israel Amidst Conflict Highlights Personal and Professional Transformation
Dr. Emily Steier, a fourth-generation medical professional, made aliyah to Jerusalem in 2023, a decision influenced by a growing sense of purpose and the desire to raise her children in a culture that supports their Jewish identity. Despite initial plans to move in October 2023, the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel prompted a reassessment, ultimately reinforcing their decision to immigrate. Upon arrival, Steier faced challenges such as language barriers and adapting to a country at war. Professionally, she joined the mental health services of Meuhedet in Jerusalem, treating patients dealing with trauma and stress.
