Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo And His Wife Have Split

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Luke Ford

She’s moved home. The LA Times has the story but they obviously don’t think it is a story.

The Times is leaning backward to keep Richard Riordan’s reporter girlfriend happy. Martha Groves. They ran a 2000 word self-indulgent story over the weekend about how she underwent knee surgery.

I hear the mayor is using his sorties out of town to hook up with someone, presumably on the Clinton campaign.

In January of 2007, I broke the news that Villaraigosa’s marriage was kaput. A few months later, I broke the news about the demise of Sheriff Lee Baca’s marriage.

Wikipedia says:

Delgadillo’s city-issued GMC Yukon was involved in an accident in 2004, causing more than $1,000 in damage to the vehicle, which was repaired at city expense. In 2007 he disclosed that his wife had been the driver, which is generally believed to violate city rules on vehicle use, and that, unbeknownst to her at the time, her driving license was suspended at the time. He reimbursed the cost of the repairs. Journalists further discovered that Mrs. Delgadillo had an outstanding 9-year old bench warrant for failure to appear in court and that she was delinquent in paying the city business tax for her consulting firm. Delgadillo himself admitted that, unbeknownst to him at the time, he drove his personal vehicle without insurance for a year (though his city-issued vehicle was always insured), and to using staff members for personal tasks. [1] He has also been fined for 30 counts of campaign finance law violations.

A Hillel For Our Times

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Luke Ford

ÓÕèÕß ÞÔèØÔ ÔÙ"Ó 

????? ?????
Doron Maharta Z"L
 
The oldest (age 26) among the 8 Yesivah student who were massacred last week at M’rkaz HaRav:
He wanted to be a Rabbi and studied at M’rcaz HaRav any free moment he had from the army. He
completed The shulchan aruch studies, just 2 weeks ago.Doron fought at the 2nd war of Lebanon.
He wanted to work with Ethiopian youth and bring them closer to the Jewish religion. (Emailed me) More pictures.

 

Rav Adlerstein blogs:

Doron Mahareta of blessed and saintly memory HY”D was one of the eight Yeshiva students that were massacred last week in Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem.

Last night, I paid a shiva (condolence) call to Doron’s family. Every single type of Jew was sitting together, from Ethiopians to Polish Chassidim, from knit kippot to Yerushalmi white kippot, from jeans and sandals to long black frocks. Too bad that it takes a martyr of Doron’s magnitude to unite everyone.

One of the rabbis from Mercaz HaRav told me the most amazing story you’ll ever hear about Doron’s dedication to learning Torah, a story that competes with the Talmud’s account of Hillel’s near freezing on the roof of Shmaya and Avtalion’s Yeshiva (see tractate Yoma, 35b) .

Doron wanted to learn Torah in Mercaz HaRav, one of the best of Israel’s yeshivas. But, since his early schooling was in Ethiopia, he lacked a strong background in Talmud. The Yeshiva rejected him. He wasn’t discouraged. He asked, “If you won’t let me learn Torah, will you let me wash the dishes in the mess hall?” For a year and a half, Doron washed dishes. But, he spent every spare minute in the study hall. He inquired what the yeshiva boys were learning, and spent most of the nights and all of his Shabbatot with his head in the Gemara learning what they learned. One day, the “dish washer” asked the Rosh Yeshiva to test him. The Rosh Yeshiva politely smiled and tried to gently dismiss Doron, but Doron wouldn’t budge. He forced the Rosh Yeshiva into a Torah discussion; the next day, he was no longer a dish washer but a full-fledged “yeshiva student”.

On weekends, when Doron would come home to visit his family in Ashdod, he’d spend the entire Shabbat either in the Melitzer Shul or the neighboring Gerrer shtiebel learning Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law) and its commentaries. Three weeks ago, he finished the entire Shulchan Aruch and principal commentaries. Doron achieved in his tender 26 years what others don’t attain in 88 years. He truly was an unblemished sacrifice, who gave his life for all of us.

The next time you want to close the Talmud to watch TV, think of Doron. The next time your son doesn’t want to do his Torah homework, tell him about the price that tzaddikim like Hillel the Elder and Doron Mahareta paid to learn Torah. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Doron wasn’t a reincarnation of Hillel. May his holy soul beg mercy for the grieving nation he left behind, amen.

Rabbi Steven Weil To Run The Orthodox Union In 2009?

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Luke Ford

I hear Rabbi Weil is a shoo-in to replace Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb who does not want to leave his position as CEO of the O.U. (official title is executive vice-president).

OU president Steve Savitsky is a major fan of Rabbi Weil and will likely ensure his ascension.

Full disclosure: About a month ago, I "reported" on here that Rabbi Weil would not get this position and instead would succeed Malcolm Hoenlein (Vice-Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations).

Hasidic Actor Walks Off Natalie Portman Movie

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Luke Ford

From the New York Daily News:

First he couldn’t hold Natalie Portman’s hand – and now a Williamsburg Hasidic Jew-turned-actor has to give up his chance to hit it big in a Hollywood movie.

Abe Karpen, 25, a married father of three, was cast as Portman’s husband in "New York I Love You," a film composed of 12 short stories about love in the five boroughs.

"I am backing out of the movie," said Karpen, a kitchen cabinet salesman. "It’s not acceptable in my community. It’s a lot of pressure I am getting. They [the rabbis] didn’t like the idea of a Hasidic guy playing in Hollywood.

"I have my kids in religious schools and the rabbi called me over yesterday and said in order for me to keep my kids in the school I have to do what they tell me and back out," Karpen said.

While news of Karpen’s withdrawal sent waves of disappointment through the movie set, the Hasidic community was up in arms over Karpen’s acting gig – forcing him to flee for the weekend, a friend said.

Keep reading how "the community wants to kill him"

No YULA Students Get Into Yeshivat HaKotel

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Luke Ford

This modern-Orthodox religious Zionist hesder yeshiva interviewed about a dozen boys at YULA and accepted none of them. I’m not sure why. Some of these YULA kids will go to Yeshivat Gush Etzion.

Over the past 20 years, most graduates of Orthodox day schools have gone on to spend at least a year at a yeshiva in Israel before proceeding with college.

Here’s a description of a recent book on this:

Flipping Out?: Myth or Fact? The Impact of the “Year in Israel” by Shalom Z. Berger, Daniel Jacobson and Chaim I. Waxman takes a hard look at a phenomenon that has become a major source of both inspiration and consternation in the Jewish community.

The Jewish community has changed over the past four decades for many reasons, prominent among them the phenomenon of large numbers of students spending a year after high school studying Torah full time in Israel. The results of this “Year in Israel” can be felt in many synagogues and homes, with a good deal of increased ritual observance and dedication to Torah study – the much discussed “Shift to the Right.”

Many questions arise from these changes. Have these students been brainwashed? Has their primary education so failed them that a single year in Israel is more influential than over a decade of American schooling? Have they found an easy way to alleviate some hidden insecurity? Or are they merely inspired by a profoundly rich and spiritual lifestyle? And how long does this newfound religious devotion last? Is it really the start of a radically different life path or is it merely a short-term religious high that becomes more moderate over time? These are just a few of the questions that need to be asked.

This book gathers together insights from three talmidei chachamim who are top experts on the subject, each from a different perspective. Rabbi Shalom Berger, Ed.D., and Rabbi Daniel Jacobson, Psy.D., both performed statistical studies and wrote doctoral dissertations on the phenomenon of studying in Israel for a year. Rabbi Berger, drawing on his years of experience as a leading mechanech (Torah instructor) in the U.S. and Israel, approaches the subject from the perspective of an educator and addresses the “what” of the changes in students-what religious changes do we see in students from the time they leave to Israel to a year after they return. Rabbi Jacobson looks at the “Year in Israel” from the perspective of his psychological training and explores the “why” of the equation-what internal and external influences on these students cause the changes that happen.

Dr. Chaim Waxman, a distinguished sociologist, looks at the impact of this phenomenon on the broader community from the perspective of a sociologist. How does the “Year in Israel” fit in with the historical relationship between American and Israeli Jewry, and how has it changed the American Jewish community? His decades of profound study of the Jewish community have earned him a place as one of our leading social commentators. Finally and significantly, Richard M. Joel adds to this impressive mix with an introduction based on his experience as the president of the Hillel college campus organization and currently the president of Yeshiva University.

Mamash Bites The Dust

Posted on March 16, 2008 by Luke Ford

It’s over. MAMASH IS HISTORY. It’s closed tonight.

That’s the second of two great new upscale Kosher restaurants that have closed in the past few weeks after Prime Grill recently shuttered its doors and has now been sold to a non-kosher operator.

"It’s a combination of poor service and mediocre food" says a kosher restaurant maven.

The building is owned by the Markowitz family (of Factors Deli fame) who will no doubt find another way to put the facility to profitable use.

Plans for the use of the rest of the building are still up in the air after Teichman’s Jewelers received notice to vacate their store which is right next to Mamash.

That leaves Pats and Shilos as the two remaining upscale kosher restaurants in town – with the new Delice restaurant being currently opened and added to the list.

Bulletin: Spitzer Rescinds Resignation

Posted on March 15, 2008 by Luke Ford

"I’m not going to take this lying down," Governor Spritzer said in resolute tone. "I have a history of ‘standing up’ for things that I value, like $5,000-an-hour prostitutes," the governor unabashedly explained. (Yisroel Pensack)

Here are more Eliot Spitzer jokes:

Eliot Spitzer Prostitution Scandal Cartoon "The big new scandal breaking here in New York, Eliot Spitzer apparently involved in some kind of prostitution activities — you know what that means?: Hookers. And right now, Spitzer is huddling with his advisers to develop a drinking problem." –David Letterman

"Gov. Spitzer responded just a few hours ago. He said, quote, ‘I violated my obligations to my family and I violated my sense of what is right and wrong.’ Spitzer also admitted violating someone named Amber." –Conan O’Brien

"Eliot Spitzer admitted publicly that he was involved in a prostitution ring, which means Hillary Clinton, now, only the second angriest wife in the state of New York." –Jay Leno

Eliot Spitzer Client 9 Cartoon "According to the FBI wiretap, they had the transcript, Gov. Spitzer was listed as Client No.9. No. 9? He’s the governor, who were the eight guys in front of him? You’d think as governor, you’d at least get to go first." –Jay Leno

"This is the guy who vowed to clean up New York. But to be fair, he did bring prostitution to its knees one girl at a time." –Jay Leno

"Here’s what happened, it was one of those sting deals. And they caught Eliot Spitzer, Gov. Spitzer, with a wire, recording him soliciting a prostitute. And I’m thinking, ‘Holy cow, we can’t get Bin Laden, but we got Spitzer. We got Sptizer.’" –David Letterman

"The thinking is the governor may step down now to spend less time with his family. The good thing is, he was caught soliciting a hooker, but on the bright side, it did not involve an airport men’s room." –David Letterman

Your Moral Leader

Posted on March 15, 2008 by Luke Ford

I use the term "Your Moral Leader" as an inspiration for mirth but deep deep inside, I want to be a moral leader.

All of us are role models whether we want to be or not. Each of us has people who look up to us and are influenced by our actions.

Friday night in shul, I encountered a group of non-Jewish students from Pepperdine. It was their first time in a synagogue. They were there on assignment from a world religions class.

This was my opportunity to be a moral leader.

I got the bloke a kipa and stopped him from taking notes (a Jew can’t write on the Sabbath, and it’s jarring when anyone does it in a shul on a holy day).

I suddenly got very excited about the prayers that I normally find boring. I found myself animatedly explaining their beauties. This bloke had five semester of Biblical Hebrew and he could follow along if I helped him.

After davening, I showed them all around the shul and explained the mysteries of the divine chariot, the dima, the ark of the covenant and all that…

Then I walked them back to their car even though it was in the opposite direction from my journey.

Beth Jacob’s Rabbi Steve Weil is friends with a Korean pastor and every year a group of about 50 Korean Christians visit Beth Jacob.

My dad was a preacher-teacher and I can’t shake that influence. I want to be like him, only Jewish.

I remember once in an economics class at UCLA in 1989, the professor, Dr. Russell Roberts, asked me up to the blackboard to explain a point and I fear it took something like ten big black guys (or may be a glance from the teach) to drag me back to my seat.

Oy ve, I’ve squandered my birthright.
