Judaism and Same-Sex Marriage

Jewish Journal May 26, 2009

While voting to keep intact the marriages of approximately 18,000 Californians, including many Jewish couples, the California Supreme Court voted today to uphold Proposition 8, an initiative that amended California\’s Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. Another chapter in the longer story of same-gender marriage in California has ended, and yet another is already beginning. Here in Los Angeles County, demonstrations against the ban are already underway in Leimert Park and more are planned for East Los Angeles and West Hollywood. Activists on both sides of the issue are mobilizing in anticipation of another ballot initiative in 2010 or 2012.

Stuck in the middle

Rabbi Daniel Bouskila November 9, 2007

Throughout our history, my family\’s descendants have been mistreated, traumatized and deceived (just like me), yet somehow, we always survived. We always insisted, either physically or metaphorically, on \”staying in the land and digging wells,\” despite \”the famine.\” So perhaps our people refer to themselves by the names of my father and son, but their inner character and strength as tough survivors comes from me, Isaac. It is my story — the story of a survivor — that is really their story.

Dodgers Legend Koufax Pitches Wit, Wisdom to Enthusiastic Audience

Carin Davis March 1, 2010

\”Dodgers spring training kicks off Friday with a game against the Chicago White Sox in Glendale, Ariz., but an early preseason event last Saturday treated L.A. baseball fans to an evening with Jewish pitching legend Sandy Koufax and Dodgers manager Joe Torre. The 90-minute program at downtown’s Nokia Theatre, a benefit for Torre\’s Safe at Home foundation, was a rare public appearance for the reclusive Koufax.

Hebrew lit club agrees to disagree

Jewish Journal May 17, 2011

Although it feels like an art gallery — with its dark wood floors, white walls and oversize paintings — this Beverly Hills condo is home to another kind of art for the evening. Between a cream-colored leather sofa and a dining table obscured by colorful appetizers are two rows of chairs. On many of the chairs, Hebrew books sit waiting. “Shalom aleichem [peace be upon you],” each person said in greeting as they entered.

A Challenge to Cowards

Mark Miller December 2, 2004

OK, so if you\’re rejected, perhaps your self-esteem takes a little hit. If you\’re rejected a lot, perhaps it gets bruised. And if you experience nothing but rejection, maybe your self-esteem ends up in the trauma ward of Love General Hospital. But enough about my pain.

Opinion: Here we go again—UC Irvine’s annual propoganda parade

Jewish Journal May 16, 2011

Here we go again. It’s spring, and for the Muslim Student Union (MSU) at UC Irvine (UCI), spring means it’s time for the MSU’s annual weeklong propaganda parade of hate programs against Israel and calls for punishing it with boycotts and divestment. Forget the real Arab spring, during which masses of people have been risking their lives to demonstrate against dictatorial rule. The MSU is obsessed with only one issue: convincing students that the democratic state of Israel is evil, has no right to exist, and should be punished and dismantled.

Singles ‘Curse’ Becomes a Blessing

Carin Davis October 21, 2004

Most single women in Los Angeles go through dry spells — a few weeks without a date, a couple months without a boyfriend, a season without some action. But how many Southland women go years without a man\’s touch and confess to it publicly? In her new book \”The Curse of the Singles Table, A True Story of 1001 Nights Without Sex,\” Santa Monica resident Suzanne Schlosberg talks about her long winter and spring and summer and fall, and winter again, and spring again and, well, her long, lonely time.

\”There was no end in sight,\” said Schlosberg, who spent more than three and a half years going on dozens of first dates, but almost never a second. \”The streak started to take on a life of its own.\”
