Tonight the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust will present “An Obligation to Repair the World," a memorial celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Ruth, a longtime board member, who died at the age of 96 last July. The Roosevelt House program on June 25 will feature a discussion with two of Dr. Ruth’s collaborators, Allison Gilbert and Pierre Lehu, co-authors of her final book, The Joy of Connections: 100 Ways to Beat Loneliness and Live a Happier and More Meaningful Life. In particular, this program promises to show how she drew on her personal experiences—from the loneliness that followed the loss of her family in the Holocaust, to that of living in an orphanage and the challenges of rebuilding her life in America—to help individuals break free from the bonds of sexual stigmatization, hopelessness and isolation.”
