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?

From LimmudLA.org:

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.
