From that beginning, the big question concerns the divisions within the Jewish community: who decides what being Jewish is all about, from the extremes of accepting anyone who self-identifies as a Jew or to the orthodox view of Jewish matrilineal inheritance.
The enormous new hotel being built in downtown Los Angeles will be an InterContinental, its developers announced Tuesday. The nearly 900-room hotel will be the heart of a skyscraper called Wilshire Grand, soon to be the tallest building in the West at 73 stories. The tower set to open in 2017 will also have several floors of office space for rent and ground-level shops and restaurants.
This 390-square-foot room comes with one king bed. The room is located on the highest floors of the hotel and there is a view of the resort's Eiffel Tower from the window. The decor features a rich color palette and a signature sofa. Amenities include a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator and an in-room safe.
