A Side of L.A. the Tour Books Don’t Mention

Naomi Glauberman July 27, 2006

I\’ll admit to a bit of initial wariness about a bus tour through Inglewood, Lennox and Hawthorne, sponsored a couple of Sundays ago by the Progressive Jewish Alliance (PJA). The three communities just east of LAX have poverty and crime rates far exceeding the averages in L.A. County. But the 90 people who boarded the two buses at the Westside Jewish Community Center were not interested in casual sightseeing.

Soccer on Sunday, Wickedly Wonderful

Jewish Journal July 27, 2006

Talia Schrager loves soccer. She loves being able to run and kick and shout with other girls. Her mother, Sandra Lepson, loves the assertiveness and self-confidence the game inspired in her daughter. So with her daughter about to age out of her team, Lepson knew she had to find a way to let her daughter continue playing.

Focus on Philanthropy

Amy Hirshberg Lederman July 27, 2006

I don\’t know about how others think about gift giving, but I am honestly confused about it myself. Year after year, questions continue to gnaw at me like: What is the right amount for a gift?

Rabbi Lisa Edwards July 27, 2006

\”Every head is ailing, and every heart is sad\” (Isaiah 1.5). We read these words in this week\’s haftarah for Shabbat Khazon (Sabbath of Vision), the Shabbat before Tisha B\’Av. The words seem especially poignant and true these past few weeks, as we watch in angst as events unfold in Israel, Lebanon and Gaza.

A ‘Nice’ Idea Blossoms Into a Group of ‘Niceaholics’

Rebecca Raphael July 27, 2006

\”I realized that if you have the ability to help other people, you\’re in a pretty good place,\” says Debbie Tenzer. \”It\’s not always easy, because basically, we\’re selfish creatures, many of us struggling every day. We have to make a choice, and it starts by doing just one nice thing.\”

One More Casualty in Crisis — Unilateralism

Leslie Susser July 27, 2006

After the Lebanon and Gaza experiences — sustained rocket attacks on Israel in the wake of unilateral pullouts — will Olmert still want to adopt last summer\’s Gaza model of withdrawal without agreement, or will he seek a different formula, such as bilateral arrangements with moderate Palestinian leaders or the introduction of international forces to keep the peace after Israel pulls back?
