Single, dating, or married. Discover why the right person may challenge you most. Kabbalah, meditation, and wine.
Most people are looking for someone who checks all the boxes. Attractive. Successful. Funny. Emotionally available. Spiritual. Confident. Easy.
But what if that's not how soulmates work?
What if the person meant for you isn't the one who validates everything you already are, but the one who awakens who you're capable of becoming?
Why do certain people trigger us more than anyone else? Why do the same relationship patterns keep repeating? Why do some relationships feel comfortable but never transformative, while others challenge us in ways we never expected?
For thousands of years, Kabbalah has offered a radically different understanding of love, attraction, soulmates, and the purpose of relationships.
Join Rabbi Mendel Simons for an evening of Kabbalistic wisdom, guided meditation, and honest conversation about the relationships that shape our lives.
Single, dating, or married. This one's for you.

Join us at Upside Down Gallery to celebrate the opening of art exhibition by Clifford Lester & Jake Rosen, "Ha'Or Zikaron: Honoring Survivors of the Holocaust"
Featuring:
A curated art exhibition featuring artist talk
Open coffee bar, refreshments, and drinks
About the Exhibition:
“Ha'Or Zikaron: Honoring Survivors of the Holocaust” is an exhibition of works by artists Clifford Lester and Jake Rosen. Lester and Rosen, two second generation Holocaust survivors, share the stories of their parents and other individuals through intimate unposed portraits and moving biographical paintings. On the 20th anniversary of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and with the backdrop of rising antisemitism, this exhibition bears witness to the enduring strength of survivors who have built lives of meaning and joy in the wake of incredible suffering and loss. On view from January 25, 2026 to March 15, 2026, both the works of Lester and Rosen stand as a testament to the well-documented, yet too often unacknowledged part of our history with a call: to cherish the humanity of every individual, to bring light from darkness, and to look to hope for renewal.

The program includes well-known favorites such as "Rozhinkes mit Mandlen" and "Numi Numi" and takes us into new territory as well.

Part II of “Reviving Yiddish Stage and Screen” is a Schoenberg Hall screening of the uproarious 1937 Yiddish-language musical comedy, “Freylekhe Kabtsonim” (Jolly Paupers). The film was produced at the famed Kinor Film Studio in Warsaw. It features the same creative team that produced the 1924 opera “Bas-Sheve” — composer Henech Kon and screenwriter Moishe Broderzon — and stars the legendary comedy duo of Shimon Dzigan and Israel Shumacher. Here is a clip from the film.
“Reviving Yiddish Stage and Screen” kicks off the Milken Center’s three-day UCLA conference, “Sonic Representations of Jewishness, Onscreen and Off.”
RSVP for one or both events.

Please join us for this spectacular two-part program in Schoenberg Hall inaugurating the Milken Center’s three-day conference, “Sonic Representations of Jewishness, Onscreen and Off.”
We begin at 4 PM with the U.S. premiere of Bas-Sheve (1924), a one-act Yiddish-language opera/melodrama by composer Henech Kon and librettist Moishe Broderzon. Recently rediscovered, completed and orchestrated by distinguished Yiddish experts Diana Matut, Josh Horowitz, and Michael Wex, Bas-Sheve is based on the tragic biblical story of David and Bathsheba. Milken Center artistic director Neal Stulberg conducted North American premiere performances of the opera at the 2022 Ashkenaz Festival in Toronto. Our concert performance features four vocal soloists, chamber chorus, and a 20-piece orchestra, with projected images accompanying the performance.
Following a break, the program continues later that evening with Part II: a screening of “Freylekhe Kabtsonim” (“Jolly Paupers”). See related event posting. RSVP for one or both events.
This event is made possible by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies.
