In California, less than half of all foster youth graduate from high school and even fewer attend higher education. Aviva High School helps at-risk teenage girls get their lives back on track, graduate high school, and go on to post-secondary education. 95% of our graduates go on to vocational schools, community colleges, and/or universities. “We’re taking back our futures.” That’s how the girls at Aviva High School describe how their lives have changed. Many of our students first arrive with negative feelings about school, with histories of multiple failures, suspensions and expulsions. However, after a few months of working in classrooms with a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio, they start to imagine the coming years with specific plans and goals. They start dreaming not only of graduating but continuing their education beyond high school. And they know Aviva will be beside them and their families at every step. Our students tell stories of being let down, frustrated and bounced around larger schools before they came to Aviva. They describe Aviva High School as having close-knit classes, teachers who understand their individual needs and teach without judgment, and counselors who are available down the hall when feelings get tough. It’s about finally going to a school where students realize the value of their skills, discover their innate ability to help others, and learn how to be responsible for their choices and actions. In short, Aviva High School is a unique and safe place where girls can grow, strive and dream more than they dared to before. Visit our website at www.avivacenter.org for more information about our High School and other services.

DRAMMA INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ENSAMBLE (Teatro Dramma) needs your support to keep our research on new and different codes for theatrical communication. This time through Judgment on a Gray Beach. After graduating NYU Tisch with a Master Fine Arts and Theater Direction; In a traditional, conservative, and naturalist training, there was something that always bothered Elia: All the atmospheres that were created in the play were very seductive but when the dialogue started there was a growing need in Elia for the actor to stop talking. So, in the questioning of this need is where Teatro Dramma and it’s unorthodox process begins. Teatro Dramma explores how action and movement become much more important than the word. “The wonderful satisfaction happens when physical actions substitutes dialogue” said Mrs. Schneider. When actions and movement communicate, the space starts taking presence and dimension; To this add music, sounds, light, poetry and a new code is created. The way of connecting is not necessarily a realistic action-reaction. It creates a magnifying glass that amplifies life’s mundane actions. Consequently, these actions start acquiring a slightly expressionist dimension and turns them into metaphorical ideas. Ideas that we cross and do every day but never really observe. All this is centered in the vision of an author who has a clear, accurate, and realistic vision of how society works in his time that is current today, Franz Kafka. By presenting these new codes, Dramma International Theatre Ensamble doesn’t want to present an opinion, but the truth of different observations to start a dialogue with and between the audience.

Since founding by a group of entertainment luminaries in 1926, Temple Israel of Hollywood has never strayed from its Hollywood roots or its connections to Reform Jewish traditions and values. Today, Temple Israel’s dedication to worship, community, Jewish life, social justice, and to Israel has a distinctly contemporary flair. Commitment to Social Justice Temple Israel was founded upon a dedication to social justice, through both thought and action. Leading Jewish thinkers, including Rabbis Mordechai Kaplan, Leo Baeck and Stephen S. Wise, gave sermons here about important social issues. In 1965, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke movingly from the Temple’s pulpit about segregation, poverty, freedom, and human dignity. Ten years later, at the end of the Vietnam War, Bob Dylan sang “Blowin’ in the Wind” at a Temple seder. Guided by the principle of Tikun Olam, Temple Israel members annually serve a joyful Christmas dinner to 1,500 homeless and hungry Angelinos; prepare monthly lunches for individuals living with HIV/AIDS; gather food, baby formula and other relief supplies for distribution locally and globally; organize for disaster relief; and continuously address contemporary social and humanitarian issues through leadership and action. In 1997, Temple Israel launched Mitzvah Day which has grown into “Big Sunday Weekend,” an independent nonprofit with year-round programming. Now the largest regional community service event in America, Big Sunday draws 50,000 participants annually to participate in 500 service projects throughout California. Temple Israel remains among its strongest supporters. Kinship With Israel The clergy at TIOH take an active role in raising local awareness and love for Israel through leading annual congregant trips, ARZA leadership, community forums, education, a student exchange program with Tel Aviv’s Tzahalah School, Israeli music, and support of IRAC and progressive congregations in Israel. Lifelong Learning Temple Israel’s commitment to life-long learning is expressed in the myriad adult education opportunities and extensive adult programming. The friendships that grow from weekly Torah study, Hebrew classes, lectures, concerts, men’s and women’s retreats, holiday workshops, choir, meditation, parent and family education, and more, further enrich and create community. Jewish Expression Through The Arts Temple Israel was founded, in large part, by creative luminaries in the entertainment industry. Temple Israel’s Arts Council strives to honor their vision by making the arts a vital aspect of the identity of Temple Israel of Hollywood by producing high quality ‘Jewish-centric’ artistic programs, including music, visual arts, drama, and literature.

Since March of 1996, Food on Foot has operated as a volunteer-based, non-profit organization providing hot, nutritious chicken dinners, snacks (fresh fruit, carrots, granola bars and bread), and drinks (bottled water and milk) to as many as 250 homeless and poor individuals and families each week.

Our target population includes individuals of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, as well as the disabled and blind. Work for Food is a 7-day-a-week community trash clean-up program designed to initiate the transition from life on the streets to involvement in the workforce by picking up trash in return for $10 in food gift cards from local fast food restaurants and grocery stores.
