📰 News we're reading

• Herta & Paul Amir Foundation (insidephilanthropy.com) — A Beverly Hills-based family foundation, the Herta & Paul Amir Foundation, quietly directs sizable grants to Jewish and Israel-focused institutions while keeping a low public profile. With offices on Wilshire Boulevard, it backs major projects like a new medical school in Haifa and selectively supports Los Angeles-area causes, but does not accept unsolicited proposals from local groups.
   

• Fight Breaks Out At 48 Steak In Beverly Hills (canyon-news.com) — A recent brawl between two women at upscale 48 Steak on Wilshire turned a Beverly Hills fine-dining night into a viral spectacle. Diners expecting pricey Wagyu cuts instead watched staff struggle to break up a hair-pulling, punch-throwing fight that spread across social media, while questions remain about any arrests or restitution for damages.
