DOROT mourns the loss of Dr. Ruth Westheimer, z"l, the renowned sex therapist, author, and Holocaust survivor who passed away at the age of 96.
We were honored to feature Dr. Ruth at our 2021 Annual Benefit, where she shared words of wisdom on building social connections with host Ari Melber. Revisit their charming exchange and her sage advice in this video.
Last year, capping off a lengthy and vibrant career, Dr. Ruth took on a new challenge, becoming the Loneliness Ambassador for New York State, hoping to remove the stigma around loneliness and encouraging us all to connect.
We celebrate Dr. Ruth's incredible life and remarkable spirit.
May her memory be a blessing.
