    *Clarification:* rush-hour traffic is absolutely awful on the freeways, but using the freeways to get around town is something locals never do.

    Hooray, Jewish-Filipino discussion! As a Filipino Jew, it seems to me that Jews actually love Filipinos. Theres a lot of us Jewapinos out there. I wouldn't say there's many cultural similarities to explain this beyond broader American attitudes about Asians, however we do love feeding each other. And, fun fact: both Hebrew and Baybayin are descended from Aramaic, making them more closely related to one another than to the Latin alphabet.

      Yeah I’m a convert to Judaism but both my grandma and grandpa discuss WW2 a lot of the Philippines my grandma as a resident of Manila watching her own father going through the Bataan death March and my grandpa as a petty officer. Lol they both have the shared of hating McArthur

      Uhhh.... Baybayin's Aramaic origins is disputed, as with most descendants of the Brahmi script.

    While living in Pasadena in the early 2000s we had several contractors come look at the house to bid on some work. Two of them were Israeli, both living in the San Fernando Valley, and both expressed great surprise at seeing a mezuzah on the door…they had never heard of Jews living in Pasadena

      ⁠@@SamAronowThanks…not sure how to private message. I have no social media accounts…Eduard Ritter von Schweitzer was my great grandfather’s uncle. There’s a fair bit about him available on line, all relating to Franz Josef’s promoting him in spite of his refusal to convert and continued pride in being conspicuously observant. He was born 1844, d 1920 but he was involved in Turkish and Balkan wars, not the Great War. Retired 1912. The only additional information I have through the family is the story of how, following his promotion to Field Marshal, he came to Kol Nidre in his full dress uniform…. 4:20

    In my family on my mothers side there's an oral story retained on how during the plague they were chased from their places in Germany to a valley beside a fjord in Norway where everybody was dead and the crops lay unharvested.
    A monastic order were administering the land and allowed them to settle and work the land.
    I later went into the archives in Bergen and indeed a pre reformation monastic order administered this land,one all but forgotten today.
    That was pretty cool to see.

    Couldn’t help but notice you mentioned the LIRR - are you planning on covering suburban resettlement of the Jewish population post WWII? This follows the larger trends of course, but it would be interesting to see how and why second and third generation settled where they did… e.g. Syosset, Westchester, etc.
    I know you’re from the West Coast, but it would be interesting to speak about as a whole

    I lived in Pasadena from 1980 through 1989. I attended Ambassador College from 1980 through 1985. Though we only had a small handful of Jewish teachers we did observe the Hebrew Sabbath and the corresponding Holy Days, such as the Passover and clearing the campus of leavening for the 'Days of Unleavened Bread'. We are a Christian group and believe that the entire law and the testimony of the Prophets point to our Savior of the tribe of Judah who will save the world. I married after college and lived north of the freeway in Pasadena in a modest apartment with surprisingly inexpensive rent. Have to say I was not aware of any Synagogues in our neighborhood

    Following up on my previous comment, as a comparison, I grew up in New Jersey where there were Jewish communities, our immediate neighborhood, not so much. Students from the area were Jewish, they were friends. During most of my childhood I was not an observant Christian, not attending any Christian Church. I did enjoy having two extra school days off, for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

    ב''ה,
    Can't find the more recent post and this is like having my time wasted so California can have a conversation with itself, but as much as the water availability issues for the ongoing disaster may be a bit overblown.. if that's going to continue to be a thing, why not run some seawater pumping that would be unattractive for any use other than last ditch firefighting - and maybe some badass public clocks like this, as RUclips has been pitching for years? ruclips.net/user/shorts6BoCt6vo558
    Just an idea, as much as.. zoning, but also massive public works expenditure, but you'd get some pretty stuff and some plumbing that could be repurposed if any breakthroughs in desalination are made.
