Glendale Galleria, the Chabad Jewish Center of Glendale and the Foothill Communities
Are Jewish groups missing the e-philanthropy boat?
While Chabad has tapped into perhaps the fastest-growing sector in the philanthropic world, many sectors of the Jewish world have been slow to catch on to the Internet era. \”Some Jewish organizations have been more successful than others,\” said Gary Tobin, president of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, which studies Jewish philanthropy. \”But you don\’t see many who are very successful, other than the Jewish National Fund [JNF].\”
The many sides of Bob Dylan
In its own oddball way, \”I\’m Not There\” is among the best pieces of music criticism I\’ve seen or read on the subject of Bob Dylan. It is a jigsaw puzzle, with its various pieces scattered around the table by a deft, if quirky hand. It\’s a film that rewards close attention and deserves repeated viewings. The film\’s one significant omission is the place of Judaism in Dylan\’s life.
Theater: Davidson’s retirement leads to ‘Lessons’
Gordon Davidson is back where he belongs, in the director\’s chair. The man whose name is practically synonymous with Los Angeles theater, who raised the city\’s reputation from a provincial backwater to the breeding ground for innovative and controversial plays, retired in the summer of 2005 as founding artistic director of the Center Theatre Group. Now he has resumed his craft, not at the Mark Taper Forum, the site of many of his triumphs and some failures for 38 seasons, but at the more modest venue of the Strasberg Creative Center\’s Marilyn Monroe Theatre in West Hollywood.\n
