LimmudLA's Healing Havdalah Program At Dockweiler Beach
As we drive in, we see a woman holding up a sign called "Healing Havdalah."
"Go This Way! You won't have to run into any other minorities," says my friend.
"Jewish organizations are always very careful with their directions when they hold events around the mud people."

A Healing Havdalah Celebration Saturday Night
Does anyone want to share a ride to this event?
We are Democrats. We are Republicans.
But we are all Jews.
On Saturday night, November 8th at 7pm, we will come together and put politics behind us. The etiquette of the evening is that we will not cheer for the winner or lament for the loser. We will not speak publicly or even whisper between us to make anyone feel that they voted the wrong way.

A Taste Of LimmudLA In Brentwood
A couple of hundred people showed up to a beautiful home and succah Saturday night to make havdalah, eat good food, drink hot tea, mingle, and learn some Torah.
I took in a class by Rabbi Elliot Dorff on "The Ethics of Language." He outlined Judaism's views on proper and improper speech. It's easy to see why he's inspired scores of people to enter the rabbinate.
