Dr. Ruth Dishes Snow Sex Safety Tips

Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s got some advice for couples snowed in during the East Coast snowstorm: Have some fun, but keep safe.

Westheimer, the sex therapist who achieved prominence for her willingness to break taboos on New York radio, has in the past mixed discussion of sex and cold weather on her Twitter account, which is as ribald as the woman herself.

Entering her nineties, Westheimer remains dynamic as ever, and she’s hip to how millennials connect romantically and sexually. For this Valentine’s Day she’ll be doing a live show analyzing OkCupid profiles.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief

You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.

And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
