In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

I promised to be a “party president” and Robert Rosen during my term we did indeed put on great parties, notably the black tie gala at the Gibbes Museum’s opening of A Portion of the People.

Private Secretary of the Governor AB 368 — 2 — CHAPTER An act relating to public capital facilities. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST AB 368, Cedillo. Breed Street Shul. Under existing law, the annual Budget Act provides various items of appropriation of funds for local public capital facilities. This bill would make findings and declarations regarding the need for renovations and improvements at the Breed Street Shul in Los Angeles. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (a) The Breed Street Shul, which opened in 1915 in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, was the home of the Congregation Talmud Torah, once the largest orthodox synagogue in Los Angeles. (b) The Breed Street Shul is currently in disrepair and requires significant renovation and capital improvements in order to bring it into compliance with seismic and building standards, thereby making it available as a museum and community cultural and educational center for children and adults. (c) Jewish and Latino groups throughout the community are working together to redevelop the Breed Street Shul, preserve its historical legacy and architectural integrity, and create a multipurpose center that responds to the needs of the dynamic area. These groups include the Jewish Historical Society of Southern California, which has acquired the shul, the Boyle Heights Neighbors Organization, the East Los Angeles Community Corporation, Impacto/El Proyecto de Pastoral, Self-Help Graphics, the University of California at Los Angeles School of Public Policy, the University of Southern California School of Architecture, the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, Hebrew Union College, and the Los Angeles Conservancy.

TRUE The history of piracy in America had its roots in Hakluyt's compilation of the "Principall Navigations, Voiages and Discoveries of the English Nation" in 1589. Almost one hundred years later, in 1678, Esquemeling's classic "Bucaniers of America" was printed in Dutch. It was received with a flood of enthusiasm, being translated into Spanish, French and English. In England it was the best seller of its times, and it was issued in tides of editions and additions. Not since then has there been a better account written of the doughty Henry Morgan, his butchering contem- poraries or their bloody cohorts, than was so indelibly inscribed by this erudite Dutchman who 'went a piriting' with them.

Cover photo by Flickr user Deep Schismic THE NATHAN CUMMIFOUNDATIONNGS is the proud founder and sponsor of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable. Praying With Our Legs 19 stories that will inspire you a Jewish Social Justice Roundtable Publication Executive Summary The Jewish Social Justice Roundtable (Roundtable) is excited to illuminate the stories and accomplishments of 19 young people ages 15 to 33 years old. They have inspired us with their diverse expressions of Judaism, commitment to service and desire to see the Jew- ish community grow. “I want to see a shift in the Jew- ish psyche. Service is a way to act Jewish, just like we understand prayer as a Jewish act, so is service,” says Anya Manning, 25. Diverse definitions of service: Those featured in this booklet are bursting open the traditional definitions of service and pushing their Jewish communities to think expansively. They’re in Israel teaching refugees English, using community organizing to engage congregants in New Orleans and doing service learning in Guatemala. Never too young to start: In fifth grade, Gabe Ferrick, 15, learned about the genocide in Darfur.
