Every Tuesday at 8:15 AM a group from our Village walks around Rancho Park with one of our clergy. It’s an easy walk and a great time for some conversation with the rabbi or cantor and other Village friends. We meet at the corner of Patricia and Cushdon. There is ample free parking. The easy walk takes 45-60 minutes. 

This discussion group focuses on the news of the week. Participants share articles and opinions that pertain to what's happening both in the United States and internationally, and particularly to introduce diverse views. Many of the "pundits" we analyze write for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. You will also examine such magazines as The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic, and other journals that give in-depth coverage of current topics. This is your chance to listen and be heard on the events of the day.    

The class is taught by Village member, Myrna Hant. Myrna received her PhD in Higher Education from UCLA. She was a college administrator as well as an instructor in Women's Studies at Chapman University. 

Join writer Erica Jamieson to discuss great contemporary and classic Jewish short stories over coffee and snacks. This week's selections: The Succession by Allegra Goodman and two blog posts about Jewish writing and writers. 

To get copies of the articles, send an email to Arielle: Arielle@ChaiVillageLA.org.
