A note from Village member
Barbara Marom-Pollack
:
Ever wish you could share your personal story? Earlier this month a group of us met to learn about how our personal stories can inspire the younger generation. At the meeting, we learned the background of the Dor Vador (Generation to Generation) Project and about some of the research that will come out of it. More importantly, we got to hear an example of a personal story told by professional storyteller/videographer, Carl Weintraub. We all wanted to hear more!
Our stories will be used to provide the spark for students in the Temple Emanuel Religious School to create art projects. There will also be opportunities to interact with the students. Everyone has a story to tell that can inform and inspire the next generation.
Come to a fun storytelling workshop to practice before you actually book a session with Carl.
The Dor Vador Project is generously funded by the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles.

80+ Interest Group
by Devorah Servi
|
|
|
What do our members over 80 have to say about their experiences overcoming anti-semitism and their thoughts about addressing modern day racism? This was the topic selected by group organizer, Barbara Weinstock. I was shocked to learn that the other group organizer, Renee Cronenwalt, was denied employment in the 1950’s at JCPenny due to being Jewish. The company actually asked about religion on the application! Barbara Weinstock, the other group organizer, shared a story about how her brother helped her select an appropriate college to attend given the times. Ephraim Sales also shared his memories of growing up in Berlin.
The group decided to host a salon next to continue fostering closer relationships. Several members are also participating together in the Storytelling Workshop and the Dr. Atul Gawande events.

Film Discussion
Over twenty people attended Monday’s film discussion. A notable gratifying aspect of the event was that there were three couples who had never attended before: Evie and Allen Kwawer, Loretta Siciliano and Scott Silverman and Carol and Larry Spiegelman. Mike Belman facilitated an excellent discussion on the movie
Being There
, with good input from those in attendance. The other movie we discussed was
Dave
. It was a "feel good" movie. After watching and discussing so many heart-wrenching movies in the immigration series, people seemed happy to watch and talk about much more light hearted movies.

The vast majority of adults want to remain in their homes and neighborhoods as they get older, but sometimes this takes a supportive community. ChaiVillageLA is a vibrant, multi-synagogue, multi-generational community that enables congregants to age in place in their own homes by providing assistance to one another and enriching each other’s lives, as part of a self-governing village supported by Jewish values.
