Big-Screen King’s Legacy of Generosity

Andrea Adelson October 2, 2003

Paul I. Goldenberg avoided playgrounds and sports when he was growing up because he lacked athletic prowess. He spent hours in the cool darkness of a movie house.
The Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging in Reseda honored Goldenberg, 75, owner of La Habra\’s Paul\’s TV & Video, as well as others at a gala last month. Goldenberg helped fund the home\’s newest $14.3 million building, designed to reflect the latest research on Alzheimer\’s disease and dementia. He pledged another $2 million towards a $52 million nursing-home expansion, which is hoped will accommodate 40 percent of those on the facility\’s 350-person waiting list.

Giving Adult Students Credit They Deserve

Andrea Adelson October 2, 2003

A group of local Jewish educators are seeking funding to start a novel adult-education academy that would grant a certificate of recognition to students who complete its requirements over three years.

Start the Sin Cycle

Elliot Fein October 2, 2003

Here we go again: the Yom Kippur confessional is upon us, our annual alphabetical recitation of our sins and transgressions, from ashamnu to ti\’tanu, from avarice to xenophobia and zealotry. The list never changes; the question it poses, somewhat tediously, is whether we have changed.

Turn the Tide

Rob Eshman October 2, 2003

One of the best things about being the editor of a Jewish paper is I get to meet a lot of Jews.\n\nLooking back over the past year, I see it\’s a fascinating perk of the job.

A Journey to Home

Heather Fuller October 2, 2003

Christmas \’95 I received the most ironic of gifts — Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer\’s \”What Is a Jew?\” The book was given to me by a friend, who originally bought it as a gag gift for her boyfriend. He had Jews in his family somewhere but apparently wasn\’t too proud of his Hebrew roots. He rejected the book and it became mine.

\”What Is a Jew?\” spoke to me. This characteristically Jewish way of questioning stood out in weekly Sunday school at church, where a large leap of faith was required. I don\’t remember exactly what my Sunday school teachers said to me, but phrases like \”Don\’t question,\” \”That\’s the way it is\” and \”Jesus died for our sins\” were the answers I remember receiving to my most deepest questions on faith.

‘O.C.’: How a Young Creator Spells Success

Keren Engelberg October 2, 2003

Josh Schwartz doesn\’t sleep much on Tuesday nights anymore.

That\’s the night his new show, \”The O.C.,\” airs on FOX, and the weekly insomnia awaiting the public\’s response has become an occupational hazard ever since.

Over coffee early one morning, Schwartz, the 27-year-old who\’s being touted as the youngest person ever to create his own television network drama, discussed his recent starburst since the show debuted in August. \”We\’re starting to settle now,\” he said, looking disheveled by design in vintage green T-shirt, powder blue cords and sneakers.

Jewish Folk Art Gets Contemporary Cut

Andrea Adelson October 2, 2003

Feathery palm trees, swaying dancers, and butting rams are untraditional focal points in the contemporary Jewish papercuts of artist Deborah Heyman.

In reinterpreting this nearly lost, venerable Jewish folk art tradition, Heyman, of Irvine, finds inspiration and content for her own creations in the personal upheavals and simple pleasures of a modern life.
