Check out these photos from our August 21, 2010 Wine and Pasta Party in Beverly Hills.

L' Shana Tova. I wish you a good Jewish New Year.

On September 8th the High Holidays begin. This is a time for renewal - Judaism by Choice helps the Jewish People grow as it brings in new Jews and touches many lives. With our low birthrate and high assimilation rate the only way the Jewish People will grow in numbers is by bringing new people into the Jewish community - people who are educated, observant and committed to Judaism. This is what Judaism by Choice does successfully. Click here for more.

Shalom,
