Polish Jewish Yiddishist Seeks Revival of Eastern European Jewish Culture

Jana Mazurkiewicz Meisarosh in late 2021 acted upon an idea that had been incubating almost since she arrived here. She rented a 600-squae-foot storefront at 1128 Wall Street in La Jolla and named her enterprise “Yiddishland.”  She intends it to be an incubator for the baby that she hopes will grow into a “mini-shtetl,” hopefully in La Jolla, with a small hotel, museum, classes, and possibly costumed docents who will introduce visitors to the resurging Yiddish world of Europe that was almost snuffed out by the Holocaust.

A Jewish Tour of Balboa Park

The San Diego Zoo is known as one of the world’s premier institutions for the conservation of endangered wildlife species. Along with its sister San Diego Safari Park, located in the San Pasqual Valley, the San Diego Zoo is considered one of the best, if not the very best, zoos in the world. Of particular Jewish interest is the fact that the San Diego Zoo has served as a big brother to the Tisch Family Zoo in Jerusalem, which also is known as the Jerusalem Zoo. Many of the exhibits in Jerusalem are modeled on those in San Diego and both zoos have received generous financial contributions from San Diegans. {Donald H. Harrison]

Daniel Gerroll Stars in North Coast Rep’s ‘Dr. Glas’

North Coast Rep Theater is not going to go gentle into that good night.  On the contrary, they are rounding out this streaming season with the intense one-man psychological thriller, Dr. Glas. The novel, penned by Hjalmar Söderberg, is a staple in Scandinavia, but lesser-known in North America. It was first published in 1905, set in Stockholm at the turn of the century. The plot unearths a moral dilemma and one man’s obsession. [Eva Trieger]

Home from Rehab, Editor Tells Experiences

I came home last Tuesday following brain surgery and nearly six weeks of physical rehabilitation with surprising mixed feelings.  It was the eve of Nancy’s and my 53rd wedding anniversary, so of course I was excited, especially since because of the Covid pandemic, we had not been able to get near each other, much less share a kiss.  But, on the other hand, I felt like a kid at the end of his summer camp session; going home meant leaving behind new friends as well as interesting and enjoyable activities.
