Come learn how to prepare for; and what to do during and after, an earthquake. Our presenters will teach us how to minimize injuries and damages, how to handle potential dangers due to utilities, where to go after an earthquake, and how to choose a meet-up location with friends and family by planning specific strategies for children and the elderly

Join your fellow Villagers at the Skirball Cultural Center for a visit to the museum to see the Paul Simon exhibit. The event will take place Thursday, May 25 at 12:00 PM. We shall gather in the lobby. A Skirball docent, Sue Pollack, will lead us through the exhibit. If enough people wish, we can meet for lunch after the tour (place to be selected later).  

Parking is free, but you are responsible for a tour fee of $9 and admission to the museum. (Dean Schenker has already prepaid for the tour, so please pay him back at the event)

Questions? Payment details? Call Dean Schenker at (310) 839-0622.

Journaling is a powerful tool that is SOOOOO easy to do. And you don’t have to be a writer to do it. All you must do is capture your thoughts in the moment. Learn what journaling is, how to do it, and the many benefits it reaps. This will be a 3-part series with time each week devoted to an element of journaling, time sharing your own process, and time doing your own journaling.  

Everyone is welcome. This is an excellent refresher for those that have started and stopped. Bring your favorite pen or pencil and paper, or laptop or iPad -- whatever works for you. The 3 dates are June 1st, 15th, and 29th. 

There will be an 8-person maximum enrollment in this class, so first come, first served!

We'll be celebrating this very important milestone in the life of ChaiVillageLA., with a special reception, to be held at Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills.  This will be an opportunity to see old friends, meet new people, and toast ChaiVillageLA's success.  Our special guest speaker will be Mike Feuer, Los Angeles City Attorney.  

This event is open to all ChaiVillageLA members as well as other interested temple members and outside guests. 

Hors d'oeuvres - Sangria - Dessert.  There will be gluten free and vegetarian options.
