In an article published by CNN at the close of Shavuot last week, Ivanka Trump – the First Daughter of the United State (FDOTUS) – was named (or referred to as) “America’s most powerful Jewish woman.”
And why not?
She has influence over her father, the current President of the United States (POTUS) Donald J. Trump.
More powerful than your mother?
Yes.
Most likely, since she can modify policies and world events more.
But what if your mother is SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Or SCOTUS Justice Elana Kagin? Or Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen?
They can actually change laws, stop executions, and move financial markets.
If they are your mother, they might be just as powerful as Ivanka. Plus Ruth knows more about opera, which might make her even more powerful.
