Joe says:
Beth Jacob’s Rabbi Weil is a straight arrow. He runs Beth Jacob meticulously. By the book. Not a penny shaved from the IRS. He is a sharp contrast to the Hungarian survivors Mafia of Hancock Park and BH. They are not going to stop now.
You might also want to look in the mess at Shalhevet. Jerry Friedman has increased the school debt to about $3 million by his hiring spree and he has infuriated many wealthy donors over the years. Recently it was the Roland Arnalls and in past years the others were the Liggets, George Schaefer etc… His sob story is trying to be the underdog by telling donors everyone is against him and they do not want the school to succeed. But in reality it is Friedman’s ego that is ruining the school. His recent power lunch last week at Shilo’s with David Shapell and Jack Slomovic was another one of his groveling sessions.
