David Suissa is the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles. For the past 17 years, he has been writing a popular weekly column that covers the Jewish world, Israel, spirituality, and life in general. Born in Morocco, he grew up in Montreal and graduated from McGill University. He moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s and now lives in a Jewish area of the city that reminds him a little of his old neighborhood in Casablanca.
