The Little Shul That Could — Highland Park’s Temple Beth Israel

Jane Ulman September 7, 2006

Walk up the steep pathway and into the sanctuary of Temple Beth Israel of Highland Park and Eagle Rock on any Shabbat morning. Congregants will jump up out of their wooden pews to greet you and introduce you to fellow worshippers, even if the service has begun. Chances are they\’ll also honor you with an aliyah and invite you to join them for the potluck Kiddush luncheon that follows their traditional but egalitarian Conservative service.

Jamie McCourt Proves She’s an Artful Dodger President

Robert David Jaffee July 19, 2006

Especially during the McCourts\’ first year of ownership, the Times sports section for the most part depicted Jamie and Frank McCourt, the latter known by Simers as the parking lot attendant, as carpetbaggers who have little interest in or knowledge of Los Angeles, social climbers who lack the financial resources to run the team and public relations novices.

Marc Ballon June 22, 2006

Marc Ballon May 25, 2006

\”He\’s the James Brown of the Jewish community, the hardest-working man in L.A. Jewry,\” Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Weiss said. \”I see him everywhere.\”

Although in some ways, Fishel is everywhere but nowhere. A bearded, slender man with a direct gaze, the shy Fishel seems to prefer keeping his own counsel. He sometimes materializes at events in his well-tailored suits and then slips away after talking to but a handful of folks.

The Sinai Century

Amy Klein May 18, 2006

How do you sum up 100 years of history? That\’s the task of historian Florie Brizel, who was hired by Sinai two years ago to write the history of the shul. She just completed \”Sinai Temple: A Centennial History,\” a narrative that runs more than 200 pages.

Pentecostal Revival Embraces Israel

Tom Tugend May 4, 2006

The focus of the centennial celebration was on exuberant worship services and prayer. For these unshakeable believers in the literal truth of the Jewish and Christian bibles, a kinship to Jews and especially Israel is a given.
