Reno Magazine
Reno, NV — 1) Tell us about Chabad.
Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, movement, and organization with more than 3,300 centers worldwide. Northern Nevada has had a Chabad for 10 years. Chabad’s foundation of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, coupled with a basic love for all, is what fuels this growing group.

Long Beach, CA — On Friday, Jewlicious 3.0 at the Beach kicked off at Alpert Jewish Community Center, with a record crowd of 400 to 500 young adults expected to attend.

The Jewlicious festival arrives just a week after an event called the Purimpalooza was staged in Los Angeles and a week before the Feast of Jewish Learning will be held in Northern California.

All of the events are part of a growing wave in the Jewish community to attract younger Jews to the culture and spirituality of Judaism through nontraditional means.

“What this is, is an attempt to create a venue where we're focusing on values, ideas and commonalties,” said Rabbi Yonah Bookstein of Beach Hillel, which is helping put on the third annual Jewlicious event.
