On April 15th 1905 the WOMAN’S CLUB of HOLLYWOOD was founded by 20 women – wives, daughters and sisters of Hollywood Pioneers – to support and aid the community. Their legacy is rich and historic. The women paved the road with hope, courage and nobility of spirit. The Woman’s Club of Hollywood has been not only a philanthropic organization, raising money for charitable causes, but a civic and cultural centre for the Arts. �

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.

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.

Each year, the number of wildlife added to the list of endangered species grows at an alarming rate due to the continuous problem of poaching. While many believe this problem is specific to regions in Africa and Asia, the consequences of poaching have a global impact. Our tiger population has diminished to just 3,200 worldwide, and each year, over 35,000 elephants die at the hands of poachers. As hunters kill and sell animal parts across international lines, animal populations are severely damaged, ecosystems are permanently destroyed, and the magnificent creatures that we love will cease to exist. But, our world doesn’t have to come to this. We can still save these beloved animals with your help. I started Stop Poaching Now! with the goal of providing educational resources and spreading awareness to seek an end to the illegal wildlife slaughter. All my life, I have had a strong passion for animals and giving back to the community, and I hope that our growing organization can make an international impact to speak on behalf of the animals and end this problem once and for all. Looking ahead, my greatest hope is that our future generations will be able to live in a world co-inhabited by these amazing creatures – a world where animals are safe and are able to thrive in a sustainable environment free of poachers. Stop Poaching Now!’s commitment to providing continuous educational outlets and increasing global awareness are aspirations that will not only make a real difference in the community, but will also work to help a cause that is very close to my heart. I encourage you to explore this website to learn more about Stop Poaching Now!’s efforts to fight illegal hunting and the multitude of ways that you can help our cause and animals all over the globe. Just as the smallest voices can make a huge impact, any donation can determine the very livelihood of thousands of species that we share our planet with. Please join us as we strive to stand up for these animals who cannot speak for themselves as we work to end poaching… for good.
