"Rabbi Levy, a man of warmth and strong convictions is, in his day job, an attorney and partner with the L.A. law firm of Manatt, Phelps & Philips LLP. If being an attorney and a rabbi seem mutually contradictory, it helps to know that Levy was a civil rights and public service lawyer, served as Deputy Director of the Western Center on Law and Poverty, represented labor, health and safety laws and now oversees Manatt’s pro bono cases. He is also a co-founder of The Academy of Jewish Religion, a rabbinical and cantorial seminary near UCLA.
From 1976 through 1983, Levy produced albums and concerts and represented a number of clients in the music and recording industry. This might help explain why B’Nai Horin services showcase a variety of noted Jewish musicians.
Its biggest headliner, Debbie Friedman (skipping this year’s service) is an internationally-renowned composer and singer of contemporary Jewish folk music and, not coincidentally, a legal client of Levy."

This is a lovely article on B'nai Horin, my
Spiritual Home for the Jewish High Holidays
each year.
I wish this article had mentioned me....
I was introducted here by Stephen Longfellow Fiske
years ago. Stephen is married to Nikki Fiske, who is Jewish.
Fiske is an Enchanted Garden Club Member in good standing with
