The Basketball Diaries

Two standout Jewish hoop stars headlining the Pac-10 basketball tournament? It\’s all part of March Madness. David Bluthenthal, USC\’s 22-year-old small forward, and Amit Tamir, UC Berkeley\’s 22-year-old forward/center, each look to lead their team to the conference title at the March 7-9 tournament at Staples Center.

Mind, Body and Soul

What do women want? Happiness, family and to shed those last 10 pounds. Women can learn how to accomplish all this and more at an educational conference produced by women and designed to meet the needs and wants of women.

A Matter of Opinion

Rabbis to your corners. We want a clean fight, a fair fight, and no hitting below the beard. It\’s not the WWF Wrestling Smackdown — it\’s the JSI rabbinical smackdown, brought to you live by the Jewish Studies Institute (JSI) Talkback Series.

The Queen’s Advice

The Megillah tells us that Esther found the courage to confront Ahasuerus, confess she was a Jew and not only save her relationship, but the entire Jewish people. And yet more than 2,000 years later, this Jewish girl can\’t even find the courage to confront the guy I\’m dating and confess how much I truly like him.

The Porn Star and the Rabbi

Did you hear the one about the rabbi, the porn star and the adult magazine editor? They don\’t walk into a bar, they walk into a synagogue.

My Very Own Chuppah

Hold onto your son\’s baby blanket. Don\’t give away your daughter\’s cheerleading uniform. If they hold precious memories and deep meanings, you may be able to recycle them — as part of your child\’s chuppah.

Ice Capades

Sasha Cohen, 17, will be one of three women figure skaters to represent the United States in the 2002 Winter Olympics. The sassy Aliso Niguel High School senior overcame a debilitating injury and will travel to Salt Lake City in February to fulfill her Olympic dream.

A Kosher Kisser

I keep kosher, but most of my Jewish peeps do not. To them, Double Doubles with cheese are a basic food group, and pizza without pepperoni is like the Rams without Warner.

Schmoozapalosers

While I don\’t belong in Christmas festivities, I don\’t enjoy the season\’s organized Jewish events. And so, I\’m more confused than Anne Heche on a trip to Fresno.
