Moms-to-Be Seek Religion Reconnect

Shlepping around with swollen feet, a growing belly and mounting exhaustion is a challenge for any mom-to-be, but Beth Saltz is determined to go to Shabbat services as often as she can for the rest of her pregnancy.

\”I feel I need to do it now before the baby is born,\” said Saltz, a Woodland Hills resident who is five and a half months pregnant with her first child. \”Sometimes parents don\’t work on their own spirituality and beliefs until the child is older, but I think it\’s important to do it now.\”

At this turning point in her life, Saltz views Judaism as more important than ever — and she\’s not alone.

Singles ‘Curse’ Becomes a Blessing

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.\”

Forgive, But Don’t Forget

Rabbi Alan Lachtman began Shabbat services at Temple Beth David in Temple City on Dec. 8 by having the children\’s choir sing \”Light One Candle,\” a song by Peter, Paul and Mary. The song had symbolic meanings, both positive and destructive, for the congregation. Twenty years ago, on Dec. 6, 1980, the fifth day of Chanukah, two neo-Nazis broke into the synagogue, poured gasoline on the pulpit, and set the synagogue on fire. The sanctuary was gutted, the cabinet containing the Torah scrolls was singed and two Torah scrolls — one of which had been rescued from the Holocaust from a temple that had burned years ago — were damaged.
