Years ago, I interviewed Dr. Ruth onstage at a @TLVIntls event and she wanted to meet me first. We got coffee and Cafe Landver by Habima and at the end of the conversation she told me to call my mother so Dr. Ruth could tell her she should be proud of me. My mom didn’t pick up, but there was a great surprise for her in her voicemail later! I met Dr. Ruth a few more times after that. She was tough — a Holocaust survivor and sniper in Israel’s War of Independence — smart, and never ran out of interesting stories to tell. May her memory be a blessing.
