Dear Friends,
Thank you for being a part of our 10th year of Jewels of Elul. Hundreds of thousands of people accessed this years Jewels on our new App, online at the Jewels website, The Huffington Post or the dozens of other websites that hosted our content.
My sincere thanks to the 29 contributors who gave us their wonderful stories. Gratitude to our generous sponsors, Steve Lowenstein, Scott Weinstein, Joel Dinkin, The Milken Archive of Jewish Music, Reboot and Ritual well for their generous support in making this year our biggest to date. To Rabbi Raphael Goldstein for his insightful questions, Judith Berinstein for her Spanish translations, Ken Blaker for our new App, and Sam Rotenberg, Rick Lupert and their team of editors, artists and proof readers who made our Jewels shine.
Finally, if you have been moved by even one of the Jewels this year, I request that you make a tax deductible donation to support the incredible work we are doing at the Pico Union to build a strong and vibrant multi faith a cultural community in downtown Los Angeles.
Shana Tova, to a very good year.
Craig Taubman
