Back to School

Tom Tugend January 17, 2002

A college instructor in Orange County will return to his teaching position later this month after he was barred from campus over a confrontation with Muslim students in his class.

There, a steady stream of vehicles arrived, disgorging clusters of teenagers at Orange County\’s Jewish Community Center.

More than 50 lawyers attended the Newport Beach luncheon at the Pacific Club, the second Jewish professional group organized under the Jewish Federation of Orange County. In addition to a 10-person advisory panel, the group\’s honorary chair members include Todd Spitzer, a county supervisor; Joel Kuperberg, Irvine\’s city attorney, and Kenneth Wolfson, counsel to developers of the Foothill Ranch and Rancho Santa Margarita.

Andrea Adelson November 1, 2001

To foster a sense of community among Jewish youth in the far corners of Orange County is a difficult task, given that most resources are available exclusively at the county\’s Jewish Community Center in Costa Mesa.

Andrea Adelson November 1, 2001

Jill Sherman\’s high school years are anything but carefree. Last year an older classmate, who talked openly about his anti-Semitic attitudes, tried to ignite her clothes with a self-described \”Jew burner.\” Physically, Sherman was unhurt by the attack with a cigarette lighter.
