edit data

Emmet Hirsch grew up in Jerusalem and served as an artillery officer in the Israel Defense Forces. He is now an obstetrician-gynecologist and research scientist. In his creative work, Emmet searches for meaning in a life otherwise driven by data and the laws of nature. These themes are explored in reflections on the intersection between the humanities and medicine, short stories, and in the novels The Wolf Shall Dwell with the Lamb and The Education of Doctor Montefiore.
