How to Be a Jew … in Los Angeles Right Now

History-making wildfires have been raging nearly out of control across the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, businesses, schools, and even synagogues. How is the community responding, and what can the greater Jewish community do? Rabbi Beau Shapiro joins us to give a clergy’s-eye view on how our faith helps us cope with loss and events beyond our control.
