Our reporter @emmagoss.bsky.social was in Southern California over the weekend, joining L.A.-area Jewish communities for their first Shabbat since the fires began.

Here's what she saw:

I visited L.A.’s Jewish communities as they observed their first Shabbat amid evacuations, flames and smoke during the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Hundreds of Jewish residents have lost their homes, and others are still waiting to find out.

A double-whammy for Jewish nonprofits that had long relied on the Walter and Elise Haas fund for grant funding: Not only has the fund “paused” its giving to its category of Jewish life, it has granted $100k to AROC, a leading anti-Zionist voice in the Bay Area.

It was truly an honor to receive five journalism awards from the San Francisco Press Club last night, recognizing my reporting for @jewishsf.bsky.social and & @nbcbayarea.bsky.social.
Four of these were for my education reporting on K-12 schools and college campuses.

Wow. Mazel tov to news editor Gabe Stutman; former culture editor @esensten.bsky.social; staff writers @emmagoss.bsky.social and Maya Mirsky; and staff photographer Aaron Levy-Wolins on winning a total of 13 San Francisco Press Club awards last night!

Who’s planning to shop this weekend? Black Friday deals are already out, and the national retail federation is forecasting another record setting holiday shopping season.

A middle-schooler recounts months of antisemitic harassment at a San Jose public school — and explains why she and her parents are now suing the school, the county board of education and the Calif. Department of Education, institutions they say failed to protect her.

@emmagoss.bsky.social reports:

After 6 teams forfeited to play SJSU’s women’s volleyball team, and 9 players filed an injunction to block a reportedly transgender player for competing in a conference championship game, today a federal judge decided to deny the injunction. But the case is far from settled.

It’s time to play offense in the battle against antisemitic and anti-Zionist propaganda, say participants in a panel moderated by our very own @emmagoss.bsky.social.

Did you lose power today? I was tracking the outages and PG&E restoration work across Marin County. ☔️

I’ve been intensely covering reports of antisemitism in K-12 Bay Area schools since Oct 7 2023. Complaints brought against schools and districts through UCPs have been no help for Jewish families looking for resolution and accountability. Now the law suits are coming out.

Will be posting my reporting for @nbcbayarea.bsky.social and @jewishsf.bsky.social here now!
