PUBLISHER'S NOTE
After a little re-tooling, Long Beach Jewish Life is back from our short hiatus, and I hope you'll find this issue better than ever.
This month, you'll meet the newest rabbi in our community -- Rabbi Mariana Gindlin. You'll also learn about Holli Levitsky's unique Jewish Studies Program.
You'll find out about Elisa Waltzman's debut studio album of reinvented Hebrew songs and read our review of Dr. Ron Wolfson's outstanding memoir, The Best Boy In the United States of America.
We'll also take you to the presentation of the Gene Lentzner Human Relations Awards.
I hope you'll also check out our Chai Five campaign. It's an easy and painless way for you to support our mission to build and strengthen our local Jewish community.
You can find out more and sign up for Chai Five on the preceding page.
Wishing you the best.
