ChaiVillageLA’s First Anniversary
by Ellen Isaacs

What a celebration we had this past Sunday! Nearly 200 people gathered at Temple Emanuel to hear about the accomplishments of ChaiVillageLA over the past year since our launch. There were so many ‘firsts’ to celebrate! We have 201 members and 21 member-run interest groups, ranging from film discussions to culinary experiences, walks, gardening and more. Over 100 villagers are trained to assist other members, and there were 185 member-led activities last year.

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.
