So I went to the cardiologist for an echo and she shows me that I have atherosclerotic plaque, I’ve had this for a few years, and I’ve resisted taking a statin. She says, you need to take a statin, and she shows me in her office what it looks like when the plaque grows in…

Free to republish with attribution. THE FEAR IS REAL For Jews watching the rise in antisemitic rhetoric and anti-Israel political messaging, it is understandable to feel uneasy.
