For all of his success as a prosecutor, state legislator and congressman, it might have been his experience with a Black kid from Inglewood that has shaped Schiff most. In his mid-20s, fresh out of law school, he volunteered to become a big brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles. He was paired with David McMillan, a child of a single mother who needed a male role model for her son.
The two hit it off immediately, bonding over The Big Lebowski, Billy Joel and the beach. Three decades later, they are still part of each others lives. McMillan, now a television writer and playwright living in Los Angeles, was in Schiffs wedding and recently attended Elijah Schiffs bar mitzvah. There, Adams father approached McMillan and said, I want to thank you for making Adam a better person.
I certainly would like to hope my relationship has had a positive impact, not just in how he conducts politics but also as a human being, McMillan said.
My big brother is leading the resistance and is emerging as a leader not just of the Democratic Party but of all people who care about our democratic institutions and making sure they just survive.

Jewish Journal: An adjunct of the left-wing LA Jewish scene: FYI:
Rob Eshmans 17-year tenure as editor and publisher of Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles is set to end effective Sept. 26, 2017. Eshman, whos been with the paper in various roles for 23-years, said hes stepping down to devote himself to writing full-time.
Peter Lowy, chairman of Jewish Journal parent organization Tribe Media, said in a statement that David Suissa, the current president of both Tribe Media and Jewish Journal, will step into the Eshmans role. Suissa has been writing column for the Journal on Jewish life since 2006.
Eshman said he wants to spend more time on his Jewish Journal food blog, Foodaism (rhymes with Judaism) and write a food book based on the blog.
Eshman also has written and sold two movie projects during his years at the Journal, and is working on another movie project.
Kinda looks like a creepy pedo in that picture.

Get a load of Schiff's clothes when he was younger. Did he just get off the farm?
