Dr. Ruth Westheimer has passed away at the age of 96. She once famously said: “I’m like a Jewish mother. A Jewish mother who talks explicitly.” When she was 10, the Nazis came to her Frankfurt home and took away her father. Not long after, her mother sent her to an orphanage in Switzerland which ultimately saved her life. Both her parents were murdered in the Holocaust. At the age of 16, she emigrated to pre-state Israel and joined Haganah, the Jewish resistance, where she became a skilled sniper. She later moved to NYC, earned a PhD and went to work for Planned Parenthood where she caught the attention of a radio station. She ended up hosting a radio program about sex and eventually got her own tv show. May Dr Ruth's memory forever be a blessing 🕯️
