Winter Break Was Fine. Please Stop Asking.

As a community, we need to make some small changes in our attitudes and our speech regarding winter break, which is currently underway for thousands of Jewish families.

A Future After Fire

Here are several factors to have in mind when we aim to help or pray for the victims of one of the worst calamities our city has ever known: 

A Love Letter to a City on Fire

That’s the thing about fire. It consumes everything in its path. And that includes hate, political divisions and artificial city limit lines separating Angelenos.

Just Kindness

In a Jewish community as warm and supportive as the one we are blessed to know in West Los Angeles, no family celebrates a joyful milestone alone. Conversely, no family should struggle with illness or grief alone.

Total Recall

It was one of the worst calamities that could befall an Iranian: a massive recall of cucumbers, large and small.
