Gabrielle Giffords critical after being shot in the head

Excerpt:

Giffords, 40, was raised "mixed" by a Christian Scientist mother and Jewish father, but said that after a visit to Israel in 2001, she had decided she was Jewish only. She attended services at a local Reform synagogue.

She made her Jewish identity part of her campaign:

"If you want something done, your best bet is to ask a Jewish woman to do it," said Giffords, a former state senator, said at the time. "Jewish women — by our tradition and by the way we were raised — have an ability to cut through all the reasons why something should, shouldn't or can't be done and pull people together to be successful."

Peace.
