Comic-Con and Other Fun San Diego Events

SAN DIEGO – The most anticipated event of the year is here through this weekend in San Diego. Or maybe not a “big deal” for us locals. But Comic Con is here whether we attend or not. My husband and kids have gone for years and now my brother in-law and family are also “big fans”. I hope to see some pictures of Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) look a-likes. [Cailin Acosta]

Who Is the Man Second from the Left as Ben-Gurion Declares Independence?

David Remez worked closely with Golda Meir in the Histadrut, where she served on the executive committee before leading the political department of the Jewish Agency in 1946. Remez and Meir were joined at the hip for many years. As Remez’s grandson Gideon Remez, a Sokolov (Israel’s version of the Pulitzer) Prize winner, explained, their relationship was “the most guarded, and yet most well-known, state secret.” [Gedaliah Borvick]

Grandparents, likewise, suffer as they watch with agony as their grandchildren are subject to injury and, sometimes, death at the hands of dangerous fathers. Kamala Harris can change that, and she can begin today.
