Introduce Yourself - Wendy Yano
|
|
|
|
Hello, my name is Wendy Yano and I was born in Los Angeles. My parents, Henry and Mollie Feldman, were among 25 to 30 families who founded a small Conservative Jewish community in Mar Vista where Shabbat services and Hebrew classes were held in a house. Ultimately, a modest shul was built on the property and it became the center of our religious and social lives.

|
Discussion & Dessert attendees discussed homelessness with Councilmember Paul Koretz.
