Part 1
Bridges between people are built on many levels. I chose the arts.to
embrace cultural diversity. and free expression. I am from a Catholic
family of many generations. Around the middle nineties, i befriended Ido
Aharoni, Consul for Communications and Public Affairs for the Consulate
General of Israel in Los Angeles. I was already a friend of John Rauch,
President, Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity. During those
years, Ido often invited me to special events.. See attachments
As
President of Long Beach Central Area Association, i partnered with
photojournalist Irene Fertrick for book signing & photo exhibit
titled "BETA ISRAEL-House of Israel (capturing the hardships and
kinships of Ethiopian Jews living in Israel) followed by reception led
by Rabbi-Cantor.. The venue was Long Beach Borders Books and Music, June
7, 1998. The event was endorsed by Israeli Consulate in honor of the
50th anniversary of Israel's statehood.
