LAPD will increase patrols around Jewish synagogues during High Holy Days

The city of Los Angeles will increase police patrols around Jewish places of worship this week as the High Holy Days begin Monday evening with Rosh Hashana. “Our officers will be visible in neighborhoods, synagogues, schools, and community centers — not only to deter crime, but also to provide reassurance and partnership,” Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said in a statement. This summer, the LAPD increased its presence around synagogues and Jewish community centers in response to a rise in antisemitic attacks across the country. The High Holy Days begin with Rosh Hashana — the Jewish New Year — and continue through Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which ends at nightfall Oct. 2. “Any and all forms of antisemitism are unacceptable in Los Angeles and we are taking action to protect Jewish Angelenos especially as we head into the High Holy Days,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a prepared statement. “The LAPD is taking proactive, preventative measures. I want to thank the LAPD for their continued efforts and collaboration in protecting our communities.”

Los Angeles Convention Center to undergo $2 billion expansion as city council approves plan

The Los Angeles City Council voted to move forward with a $2.62 billion expansion and modernization plan for the city's convention center, as several 2028 Summer Olympics sporting events are scheduled at the site. The project passed in an 11-2 vote, with Council members Bob Blumenfield and Monica Rodriguez absent during the vote. Renovation plans for the 1971-built center have been in the works and debated for over a decade. The city reported that the Los Angeles Convention Center currently misses out on higher-end convention bookings as it lacks the size and modern standards expected in the convention industry. "Whether locally or in Sacramento, we have been pushing forward on this project because the convention center touches every part of our economy," Mayor Karen Bass said at a news conference ahead of Friday's council vote. "From hotels to restaurants to small businesses, it helps sustain the tourism and convention industry that keeps our city moving."
