Knowledge Building at the Film Interest Group Meeting
By Sherry Altura
I really enjoyed the two movies we discussed, Fill the Void, and The Women's Balcony, both of which illuminated the role of women in two very different Orthodox communities in Israel. I enjoy discussing movies that are similar in some way. I particularly like hearing background information about the director and the decisions that the director has made about why some scenes are included in the film. Another thing I find interesting is the different impressions people have of the movies. Some of the opinions that people express expand my knowledge and opinions about the movies, but others really conflict with my own impressions; but that's what makes for an interesting conversation. I also like the fact that the meetings are held in different members' homes in different neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

Join us for a bus tour of Jewish Los Angeles! We’ll depart from Temple Isaiah and take a ride through some of the historic and Jewish sites around town. Our tour will be led by Village member Bruce A. Phillips, professor of sociology and Jewish Communal Service at Hebrew Union College.
Join us as we visit historic sites such as the Breed Street Shul, Libros Shmibros Bookstore, the site of a former Yiddish school, and so much more. This is sure to be a day of learning and connection to the Jewish past of this city!
The cost of the tour is dependent on how many people sign up - the cost of the bus is $190, which will be divided equally between the registrants. The tour will focus on historically Jewish sections of Los Angeles and will feature a discussion of gentrification in the city.

We all talk about the importance of preparing for earthquakes, but do we ever do anything about it? Learn how to prepare your home to minimize injuries and damage, what you need in your earthquake preparedness to-go and sheltering-in-place kits, how to choose family meet-up locations and make a communication plan, what to do when the shaking starts, and how to recover once the shaking stops.
Also: the dangers posed by your utilities and how to prevent and handle them; special planning strategies for children, and the elderly.
ChaiVillageLA is happy to welcome non-Village members who are members of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills and Temple Isaiah to this important community-building event.
