Tap Dancing on Everest: A Young Doctor’s Unlikely Adventure

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.

In partnership with Washington-Centerville Public Library and Women’s Philanthropy.
