Construction crews broke ground at the site of the Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue (MJCS) last week — two and a half years after the congregation held a gala groundbreaking celebration for the new $10 million building.
\”Building in Malibu is legendary — it\’s very difficult to get through the regulatory process. Thank God, we\’ve made it through all of that,\” said George Greenberg, congregation president.

It has been one year since a financial crisis engulfed the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Los Angeles (JCCGLA).

It\’s one of the oddities of world affairs that the worse things get in the Middle East, the more various countries, international bodies and individuals want a piece of the diplomatic action. The region could use some help, but sadly, recent offers by a number of hopeful mediators are likely only to confuse matters and make U.S. diplomacy more difficult.
The Europeans, the United Nations, even Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan all want to lend a hand.
