A Community in Spite of Itself: 21st-Century Lessons from Jewish Los Angeles
The metropolis dubbed "seventy-two suburbs in search of a city" by Dorothy Parker, Los Angeles is a fascinating laboratory for experimentation. L.A.'s size, diversity, diffusion, and energy spur creativity across multiple sectors, not least Jewish life. We'll take a virtual tour across L.A.'s Jewish landscapes, hearing from L.A.’s Federation president, Jay Sanderson, on the city's unique Jewish population, and how he sees the city reflecting a 21st-century expression of Jewish community and its lessons for other places. Then, leading L.A. philanthropist Peter Lowy, and Hollywood writer/producer/director Jill Soloway—who co-founded the East Side Jews collective sprouting up in L.A.’s new, hip, young Jewish community in Silverlake—discuss how funders and entrepreneurs are shaping the future. Jumpstart’s Joshua Avedon moderates.
