DR. RUTH IS HARDCORE: According to an interview by journalist E.B. Solomont in this month's issue of The Blueprint, the noted sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer has a secret past that nobody knew about. The diminuitive sex guru, at the age of 16, fought along with the Haganah, the defense force led by Yitzhak Rabin that fought for Israel's independence during World War II. Now 75, Dr. Ruth has remained an ardent Zionist, keeping her office decorated with pictures of Israel.
With our nation about to go to war, and Israel facing the renewed threat from terrorists in Haifa and elsewhere, let us all look for inspiration in an unlikely place: Dr. Ruth Westheimer, multi-generational Jewish badass.
