Introduce Yourself
What's Your Story?
Hi, I’m Helene Korn. Here are some things you may not know about me. I spin silk and wool into tapestries, one inspired by Miriam’s Song; I love roller coasters and the outdoors. My husband Barry and I were scuba divers when we met. We still camp and sleep in tents. Also, I love spicy foods and keep chili flakes in my purse!

New Event Registration Process
Have you registered for an event lately? You may have noticed that the process is a little bit different--and hopefully easier to use.

When you visit our online calendar you will see that can register yourself (see the choice called "Me-ChaiVillageLA Member" in the red box to the left.) You will also be able to register other people in your household if they are village members. And, you'll be able to register a friend if she/he is a village member. Click "Register Now" and you'll be guided through the process.


You will be asked to indicate whether you are just registering yourself ("Me Only") or whether you are registering other members.

After you click "Next," you'll be asked to give the names of any members you are registering.
Please remember to always click "Complete Registration" at the end of the process--otherwise, your registration will not be complete.

Within a few minutes after completing your registration you will receive an email confirming that you are signed up. If you don't get an email, we suggest calling the office to make sure you are registered.

Questions about this registration process? Call the office--we'll help.
If you'd like to bring a guest who isn't a member, no problem! Guests are very welcome. Just contact our office (310-592-0321).
