I caught this in a Pico-Robertson shul bulletin on Shabbos:
Last week, two men posing as DWP workers committed several robberies…
We also received an alert from Jewish Family Service Aleinu Family Resource Center that a man who goes by the name Shmuel Yaakov has been circulating in the Hancock Park area and has given at least one child drugs in an alley behind a shul, possibly passing it off as candy. This man is in his 50s, of average height, with a black-greyish beard and Sephardic features.
Grateful Ed at the Happy Minyan decided that the shul’s singles should sponsor this week’s kiddush. None of them ponied up. Typical of us singles, usually taking but rarely giving.
Back in 2001, I co-sponsored a Happy Minyan kiddush ($300) but never got to enjoy it because Rabbi Steven Weil kicked me out of Beth Jacob.
