Theodor Herzl was a deeply flawed individual, yet his creativity and fearlessness continue to inspire me. In 1897, amid rampant and divisions within the , Herzl dared to dream big, transforming the idea of a Jewish homeland from spiritual longing into a bold political vision. His courage to imagine a future of self-determination shows the power of one person’s imagination.
Herzl’s dream became reality with the birth of Israel, profoundly shaping Jewish history and deeply impacting the community who shared the land.
In this time of painful conflict, we are called to confront the past honestly and also dare to envision a more hopeful future. Following Herzl’s example, we have an opportunity to reimagine a better tomorrow for all.
This Sunday, I’m honored to support Alon-Lee Green and Rula Daood of Standing Together a grassroots movement uniting Jewish and Palestinian citizens. Their work emphasizes shared interests, advocating for peace and justice for all.
I understand this may be difficult or uncomfortable for some, but I believe it’s vital to hear their message and engage with the possibility of a future built on mutual understanding and shared purpose. If not now, when? If not us, who?
Please sign up below. Address will be provided upon RSVP.

You’re invited to join us on Sunday, December 15, at 6:30 PM in Downtown LA for an evening of community, conversation, music, and hope. Exact location will be shared upon RSVP. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from two leaders at the forefront of the Jewish-Palestinian coalition on the ...

The Season of Gratitude and Giving

We’ve entered the season of holidays—a time of joy, love, abundant gifts, delicious food, and the warmth of family and home. It’s a special time. Yet for many, behind the festive joy lies quiet struggle and a need for love and support. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to embrace both realities—to give what we can and receive what we need.

Once again, the Pico Union Project will close the streets and open our hearts for FaithsGiving—a street festival that embodies care, connection, and the spirit of community. We hope you’ll join us, but wherever you find yourself, may this season bring you moments of true generosity and warmth. ❤️

The Pico Union Project's building has a story to tell! It began in 1909 as Sinai Templel, the first Conservative synagogue in Los Angeles, built by Russian Jewish immigrants. In 1926, Welsh immigrants took over, forming the Welsh Presbyterian Church, which thrived for 88 years. Then, in 2013, Louise Craig Taubman transformed it into the vibrant, multi-faith Pico Union Project we know today.

On October 3 we're going to return to our Jewish roots with a joyous celebration! Please come and experience uplifting music, a heartwarming service, and festive community lunch. Space is limited—grab your spot now!
