There’s a lot on your shoulders. But I felt prepared.” Perri especially appreci- ated how Rabbi Sandy helped her dig deep when she was considering what she learned from her portion. She also felt she couldn’t have done with- out help from Rabbi Dennis and Cantor Meyersberg, and she wouldn’t have known what to read or chant and when to stand and when to sit without Cantor Sharon. “The work you do before hand means everything.” She also mentioned Mr. Cohen from Hebrew School at the BJE who she particularly liked because he encouraged her. Perri and her family had lots of out-of-towners come to support her and help her celebrate. She had cousins, and friends of her parents and grandparents from Calif., Wisc., NY, Fla., and Texas. When asked what the easiest part was, Perri said strongly: “No part was easy. It was a lot of work.” But she went on to say that she felt successful. “I learned a lot. And I’m happy that I’m welcome as an adult Jewish woman now, and I’ll be proud to wear the tallit during the holidays.” Perri attends Carmel Middle School and belongs to Congregation Beth-El Zedeck.

  • Episodic Breakdown
    History Retold 3 x 60’ EPISODIC BREAKDOWN 1. Fire At Sea The sea. Thousands upon thousands of miles of empty water. The world’s oceans are as beautiful as they are deadly. If a ship encounters trouble far from land, there is little those onboard can do— except hope for rescue. Though sinking may seem to be the worst that can happen to a ship at sea, it’s actually fire that creates the most horrific pain and suffering. A fire aboard ship is indiscriminate in its attack, taking the lives of everyone from immigrants seeking a new life to cruise ship elite looking for a good time on the waves. Throughout time there are thousands of stories of horrific fires at sea. The images that tell their tales are remarkable, haunting, and rarely seen. Now, with restored film footage and high definition photo technology, we can look deep inside these seagoing stories of heroism and tragedy to fully understand what happens aboard ship when there is a fire at sea. Because not only does a fire at sea mean a ship is going down, but passengers and crew have two choices: be burned alive or jump into an unforgiving ocean. 2. Early Air Disasters In the first part of the 20th century, a seeming miracle took place. Humans learned how to fly. But the quest to reach for the skies came with tremendous danger. Events and circumstances that in an instant could turn deadly. Every time a new barrier was pushed, the limits of gravity pushed back harder, making every advancement in the world of aviation one that was paid for in blood.

  • Interventions: Coastal Strategies to Resist, Retreat, and Adapt
    Interventions: Coastal Strategies to Resist, Retreat, and Adapt A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in the school of Architecture & Interior Design in the College of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning by Hannan Al-Timimi, B.A. in Urban Studies and Planning University of California San Diego Committee Chair: Edward Mitchell, MArch Committee Member: Vincent Sansalone, MArch Abstract: Rising sea levels caused by the warming of ocean waters, and freshwater from melting ice sheets threaten the California coast. If the global warming trend continues, about two-thirds of Southern California beaches would disappear.1 There are three possible solutions for endangered communities – retreat, resist, or adapt. This project will examine a combination of techniques that exist and are nonexistent on Beach-Barber Tract, one of La Jolla’s sixteen neighborhoods but could be implemented into Fiesta Island’s, Mission Bay Park. The proposition is that a combination of existing building solutions might be adapted. Those include walled courtyards varying from residential to civic scale, buildings raised on stilts or piloti, landscape- based solutions and hybrids between built form and landscape, including mat buildings. The mat building might be thought of as a constructed sponge, able to absorb storm surge and both accommodate existing use patterns and offer alternative use of urban space. Case studies of architectural and landscape techniques will support the design thesis and a range of types and urban organizations will be roughly calibrated to anticipate future storms. The proposal will provide both a theoretical and practical set of projections to redesign a more resilient coastal community.
