The New Citizens Crime Patrol For Pico-Robertson

Posted by on Jun 24, 2012 in Crime |

Kenneth Lowenstein, founder and director of the LA Shmira Patrol, spoke in shul Sunday evening about taking note of suspicious behavior and reporting threats to the police.

He begins his talk with an anecdote about a tattooed skinhead in his 30s who stopped by the LINKLA shul on Robertson Blvd last week and made various “Heil Hitler” salutes. Somebody saw him and ran into Petco and called 9-1-1. Making such salutes is not a crime, but police take note of such behavior. We can’t beat people up for saying things we don’t like, but if people are publicly invoking anti-Semitism, they should be noted and recorded.

Posted by on Jun 3, 2012 in beth jacob |

BethJacob.org reports: The Summer Kollel Returns
June 25 to July 27
Under the direction of
Rabbi Adir Posy & Rabbi Avner Shapiro.
Please consider signing up for a Chavruta
– no prior skill is required —
by contacting Rabbi Posy.

Beth Jacob was a hub of activity during the weekend of Yom Yerushalayim as we were privileged to host Ambassador Yehuda Avner, Israeli diplomat and author of The Prime Ministers, an account of his time as an adviser to Israel’s highest leaders. Generously sponsored by Carrol & Jack Fenigstein, each of the Ambassador’s talks were attended by hundreds of people who walked away transformed by the inspiring experience. Few will soon forget the racuous ovation that shook a packed Shapell sanctuary on Shabbat morning or the peals of laughter coupled with the tears of reflection as our community was enthralled by one of the ultimate insiders in Israel’s history.

Daphne Panagotacos M.D. – The Best Dermatologist In Los Angeles

Posted by on Jun 3, 2012 in Health |

If you want help with your hives or acne, eczema, psoriasis, or skin cancer, I heartily recommend a dermatologist in Westlake, Daphne Panagotacos. She has sterling reviews on Yelp and the like. She has been in practice for more than two decades and my friends swear by her.

The year 1980 was a stressful one for me. I was just 14. My father lost his job. And I broke out in these itchy red welts every night. I went to see a dermatologist and he diagnosed it as hives. Once we could name the thing, I started feeling better.

What kind of training does a dermatologist such as receive? According to Wikipedia: “After earning a medical degree (M.D. or D.O.), the length of training in the United States for a general dermatologist to be eligible for Board Certification by the American Academy of Dermatology, is a total of four years. This training consists of an initial medical or surgical intern year followed by a three-year dermatology residency. Following this training, one- or two- year post-residency fellowships are available in immunodermatology, phototherapy, laser medicine, Mohs micrographic surgery, cosmetic surgery or dermatopathology. For the past several years, dermatology residency positions in the United States have been one of the most competitive to obtain.”
