About

By Honey Lazar

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/loving_aunt_ruth/item/about

Honey Lazar’s father was a photographer, painter, illustrator, and filmmaker. He documented her family, the famous, and led his own advertising agency. He died when Honey was 3, but his pictures and movies kept him alive for her, so Honey used a Brownie Starflash to document everyone and everything in her life as a way to keep memory close at hand. She loves everything about photography, especially the part that tethers me to her dad.

About

By Rabbi Debbie Prinz

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/jewsonthechocolatetrail/item/about

Deborah R. Prinz's book, On the Chocolate Trail: A Delicious Adventure Connecting Jews, Religions, History, Travel, Rituals and Recipes to the Magic of Cacao, was published in the fall of 2012 by Jewish Lights and is already in a second printing. She was awarded a Starkoff Fellowship and a Director's Fellowship from the American Jewish Archives as well as a Gilder Lehrman Fellowship from the Rockefeller Library to pursue this research. This project stirs age-old passions for chocolate and religion using information gathered from travel in several countries, including Belgium, Egypt, England, France, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland and the United States. It spans several cultures, countries, centuries, and religions, exploring how faith traditions share consumption, ritual and business interests in chocolate. Rabbi Prinz lectures on this topic around the world in a number of settings, including historical societies, JCC’s, rabbinical associations, synagogue groups, and food conferences. She blogs at jews- onthechocolatetrail.org.

Newly arrived from the East Coast, Andrew Dugan is a Los Angeles-based writer best described as "charming," "genius," and "reflexively sycophantic." Some critics have hailed his myriad literary "tours de force" as "the most innovative artistry the world of alphabet magnets has ever seen." He is a keen world-traveler and fan of brevity. When not in the throes of composition, he can be most often found tangled in the undercarriage of your car because he rides a bicycle in Downtown L.A.

This blog will be written to give our readers a sampling of our philosophy of recovery and to offer a behind-the-curtain look into the minds of the leaders of our community. The blog before you exists for the same reason as the organization that writes it--to help you live well. Many drug-treatment facilities will simply help you get sober and while there is nothing wrong with that, at Beit T'Shuvah we realize that addiction is a symptom of divided self; the unhealthy dependence on substances or compulsive activites provides only a temporary sense of wholeness and well-being.

But at least in my experience it means more. Ayzeh chavaya means that you experienced something that made a strong impression something that you cant wait to tell other people about, that at least for a little while can cause you to change the way you look at some things.

It is his passion to elevate the worship experience and to heal through music, as David (Sweet singer of Israel) healed Saul (I Samuel 16:14-23). And we read in the words of the great Haazinu (Deuteronomy 31:19), that G-d meant for Moses and all future spiritual leaders of the Jewish people to put the word of Torah into the mouths of the Children of Israel through the beauty and power of song.

I was born in Ukraine, in the former USSR, and grew up in Riga, Latvia which is on the Baltic Sea. My family and I immigrated to the United States in 1989, right before the fall of Communism. I believe that many Russian immigrants have used humor as a way to cope with the conditions of life in the former Soviet Union. I am definitely one of them. Have you ever seen photographs of Russians during Communism? Or better yet Russian Jews? Nobody smiled in pictures, ever. It wasn’t allowed. If you smiled, that meant that you were happy about something, and THAT meant that you had something that others didn’t. That was definitely not allowed in Socialism, and would be reported to the proper officials! Everyone was supposed to be equal, and have the same amount of everything from money to food to shelter. We all know how untrue that was, and how well that turned out in the end…

Mihal Levy used to collect degrees as a hobby. After receiving her B.S. and M.S. degrees, she worked as a psychotherapist and research scientist before continuing her hobby of degree-collecting. Two years into her Ph.D program in neuropsychology, Mihal decided to hang up her lab coat and give up her cushy office to focus on her first love, writing. And has never looked back. (Well, maybe a few times to make sure she wasn’t being followed by ex-patients.)
