I met Dr. Ruth many times over years, but one of the most memorable was at Shimon Peres’s 90th birthday celebration in 2013. We were chatting at the reception in Jerusalem’s International Convention Center when Benny Gantz, who was the IDF chief of staff at the time, came over. They were so excited to meet one another that I offered to take a photo of them together. This is that photo. The joy on their faces was real, and yes, that was the actual height difference between the 6’3” general and the 4’7” sex therapist.
