DIED IN A DEBRIS FLOW OF THAT
WAS CAUSED BY WHAT WAS AT THE
TIME THE LARGEST WILDFIRE IN
CALIFORNIA HISTORY.
THESE WERE TWENTY THREE INNOCENT
PEOPLE RANGING IN AGE FROM. TO
TO NINETY TWO LITERALLY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WERE SWEPT
OUT OF THEIR HOMES.
AS A RESULT OF A FIRE.
THAT HAD OCCURRED JUST TWO WEEKS
PREVIOUSLY.
AND HAD BURNED THE HILLSIDE
ABOVE THIS COMMUNITY.
AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY
EXPECTATION A OF SELF A RAIN
CELLS.
SPENT FIVE MINUTES OVER THE HILL
SIDE OF THIS COMMUNITY POURING
HALF AN INCH OF RAIN.
IN FIVE MINUTES.
AND AS A RESULT LITERALLY THE
MOUNTAIN CAME DOWN.
THERE WERE BOULDERS OF IMMENSE
MAGNITUDE AND WAIT THAT WERE
LITERALLY LIKE SPONGEBOB'S
BOBBING DOWN.
A THIRTY MILE AN HOUR RIVER.
IT HAD BEEN CREATED.
AND WE LOST.
SOME OF OUR MOST HIGHLY
RESPECTED.

EXPERIENCE THAT.
LIVES WITH US ON A DAILY BASIS

WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST RAIN OF
THE YEAR I WAS TALKING.
TO SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS WHO
ADMITTED THAT THEY HEARD THE
RAIN STARTED TWO O'CLOCK IN THE
MORNING.
AND THEY COULD GO BACK TO SLEEP.
THIS KIND OF TRAUMA CONTINUES.
NACHOS FOR THE PEOPLE OF MY
DISTRICT.
BUT A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO THE
THOMAS FIRE WE HAD THE FIRES IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
WHICH KILLED OVER FORTY PEOPLE.
SINCE THEN WE HAD THE CAMPFIRE
AND THE WHEELS HE FIRE.

THERE ARE VERY FEW OF US WHO
HAVE NOT BEEN PERSONALLY
IMPACTED.
BY THESE FIRES.
AND I WOULD JUST ASK US TO TAKE
A MOMENT TO REFLECT.
ON THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST
THROUGHOUT MY DISTRICT AND
THROUGHOUT OUR BELOVED STATE.

IN AREAS WHERE THERE HAD BEEN
THESE SEVERE BURNS ARE STILL
POTENTIALLY SUBJECT. TO
MUDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS.
YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH
YEARS OF DROUGHT.
WE ARE NOW SEEING A LOT OF RAIN.
RAIN CAN BE AS MISCHIEVOUS.
AS FIRES.
AND CERTAINLY AFTER THOSE FIRES
PROTECTS THESE HILLSIDES AND THE
BEAUTIFUL AREAS IN WHICH WE WE
LIVE BECAUSE THIS IS CALIFORNIA
THERE IS NO PLACE MORE BEAUTIFUL.
BUT WE ARE REALIZING THAT THERE
IS ALSO.
NO PLACE RIGHT NOW THAT COULD BE
MORE DANGEROUS AND SO I WOULD
ASK US ALL TO JUST REMEMBER.
MY TWENTY THREE CONSTITUENTS AND
FRIENDS.
THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN THE
THOUSANDS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR
HOMES IN WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN.

UNIVERSITY WHICH IS WHAT HOUSE
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THEY WERE MARRIED IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE AND THEY
RAISE TWO WONDERFUL CHILDREN
DAUGHTER NINA.
AND THEIR SON DAVID WHO IS JUST
TO THE TO THE BENCH.
BY GOVERNOR BROWN.
AS I WAS ELECTED TO THE LAWSUIT
THE CITY COUNCIL AND EVENTUALLY
TO THE LA COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS AND I HAD THE HONOR
OF SERVING --
AS AN INTERN ON HIS STAFF FOR
TWO SUMMERS.
THAT'S WHY I REALLY GOT TO KNOW
BARBARA WELL --
AND YET THROUGH IT ALL BARBER
WAS WAS BY HIS SIDE BUT VERY
MUCH A YOUNG TO IS ABSENT NâNG.
AND AND HAD A VERY DIFFERENT AND
A VERY EFFECTIVE PERSONALITY --
THAT WAS SO FULL OF KINDNESS AND
AND ENERGY AND AND AND AND AND
DETERMINATION.
SHE ALSO WAS VERY COMMITTED TO
JUDAISM OR JUNIOR JEWISH AND THE
BROADER JEWISH COMMUNITIES GOT
VERY INVOLVED WITH --
WITH NON PROFITS IN THAT
COMMUNITY SHE GOT VERY INVOLVED
WITH A WHOLE SLEW OF SOCIAL
SERVICE AGENCIES AND IN BLOOD
INVOLVED WITH WITH SOME GROUPS
THAT THAT ADVANCE --
THE RIGHTS AND HEALTH OF WOMEN
AND FAMILIES AND CHILDREN NOT
THROUGHOUT I JUST ABOUT LOS
ANGELES BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND MANY OF
YOU KNOW.
THAT SHE ENDED UP SAME SERVING
AS CHAIR OF OUR MEDICAL BOARD
FOR THIS BOARD THAT'S HOW I
ENDED UP GETTING TO SPEND A LOT
OF TIME WITH HER BECAUSE WE
WOULD.
SIT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE
AIRPLANES OUT THERE THE THAT
SACRAMENTO SCHOOL BUS --
SOUTHWEST FLIGHTS FROM LOS
ANGELES AND WE WOULD SIT
TOGETHER BAD EVERY MONTH AND
JUST TALK SHOP AND AND THE GREAT
THING ABOUT BARBARA WAS THAT SHE
WAS ALWAYS SO INTERESTED
EVERYBODY ELSE YOU WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT MY LIFE MY FAMILY --
WHAT I WAS DOING AND AND SHE WAS
JUST A A WONDERFUL KIND MENTOR
AND?
YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE
NEWS ABOUT HER DEATH MY WIFE AND
I WERE DRIVING FROM PITTSBURGH
INTO YOUNGSTOWN OHIO AND WE BOTH.
WE BOTH STARTED TO CRY IN THE
CAR.
HI MY WIFE RECOUNTED HOW
INCREDIBLY KIND BARBER HAD
ALWAYS BEEN TO HER EVERY STEP OF
THE WAY.
HI YES THEY SAY SHE HAD
BOUNDLESS HUMANITY AS SHE IS ONE
OF THE KINDEST SOULS THAT I'VE
EVER ENCOUNTERED --
BUT SHE ALSO HAD THIS FIERCE
LIMITLESS IMBUED THIRST FOR
JUSTICE.
AND CARED SO DEEPLY ABOUT OTHERS
AND I THINK THAT THAT WAS
REFLECTED IN THE TURN OUT AT HER
FUNERAL.
AT TEMPLE ISRAEL IN HOLLYWOOD
OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE PACKED
INTO THAT.
SANCTUARY MANY OF YOU ARE THERE
AS WELL AND NOW WE GOT TO HEAR
FROM -- FROM
FROM SO MANY SPEAKERS WHO SPOKE
WITH WITH SUCH.
WITH SUCH COMPASSION IN SUCH
PASSION ABOUT BARBARA AND HER
LIFE.
SO I JUST WANNA SAY AS A
HEARTBROKEN CONSTITUENT AND
FRIEND OF HERS THANK YOU BARBARA
WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH.
AND THE BROADER LOS SANTOS
COMMUNITY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ARE DEEPLY IN YOUR
DAD.
A THANK YOU SENATOR ALLEN
SENATOR STERN.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT I WANT
TO ADD MY NOTE OF CONDOLENCE --
AS A ROOKIE IN [inaudible]
POLITICS.
A BARBER HAD A UNIQUE ABILITY TO
TO BUTTONHOLE YOU.
AND TELL YOU HOW IT REALLY WAS --
HER ABILITY TO BE UNVARNISHED.
WHO WAS A?
FEARS KIND OF LOVE THAT POLITICS
DOESN'T ALWAYS SEE BECAUSE WE
WERE POLITICS AND AND YOU YOU
LIKE.
TO PERHAPS CAN SEE --
WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN SOMETIMES
TO TO SAVE PEOPLE?
FROM FROM UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS
BUT BARBARA DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR
THAT.
BECAUSE SHE WAS ON A MISSION.
AND SHE WAS ON A MISSION FOR
PEOPLE.
ZEV GAVE OF A VERY TOUGH AND AND
HUGE EULOGY FOR HIS.
WIFE AND HE SAID HER PAST TIME
WAS PEOPLE.
THEY MET WHEN SHE WAS ACTUALLY
RUNNING THE SWITCHBOARD --
AND HE WAS THE MESSENGER BOY --
BACK IN --
BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THEY
HAD SWITCHBOARDS.
I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SWITCHBOARD
OPERATION I'M JUST CONNECTING
THIS PERSON TO THIS PERSON.
RIGHT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE CALL
AND HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT
CONNECTION --
THAT WAS HER FOR THE REST OF HER.
WAS MATCH MAKING IN MARRIAGES.
WAS FINDING WAYS TO CONNECT.
DOCTORS WHO WERE IMMIGRANTS TO
PEOPLE WHO NEEDED THE HELP THE
FAST THE FAST TRACK THEM THROUGH
THE LICENSING PROCESS BUT REALLY
BECAUSE PEOPLE NEED TO CONNECT
WITH PEOPLE.
SO SHE WAS STOLEN FROM US
[inaudible]
BUT THAT LIGHTS NOT OUT.
AND THAT BILL CAMPION WRONG AND
BARBER WILL CONTINUE TO BE WITH
US -- THE IN
THAT SPIRIT AND AND THAT
UNVARNISHED --
LOVE THAT --
WE MISS ALL TOO MUCH SO HUMBLY
JOINING HER MEMORY.
THANK YOU CENTER STERN CENTER
HERTZBERG.
LIKE TO BRIEFLY JOIN WITH MY
COLLEAGUES IN THE JOURNEYING IN.
ARE WE ARE SLUSH HE'S MEMORY YOU
KNOW EACH OF US HERE ON THE
FLOOR OF HAD.
RICH LIVES IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES
AND WE'VE ALL HAD OPPORTUNITIES
IN OUR LIVES TO MEET PEOPLE THAT
HAVE INSPIRED US.
PEOPLE THAT HAVE IMPACTED US I
HAVE KNOWN BARBARA FOR DECADES
AND AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER SHE
WAS INDEED THE YANG TO
SUPERVISOR YAROSLAVSKY JIANG IN
THE MOST.
SIGNIFICANT WAY.
AND I JUST WITHOUT BEING
REDUNDANT BUT A COUPLE OF ISSUES
YOU KNOW NUMBER ONE IS SERVICE.
AT EVERY LEVEL OF WHAT THAT WORD
MEANT IN HER LIFE OFTEN SOMEONE
IS A PARTNER TO A PUBLIC PERSON.
A YOU KNOW WITH THERE'S A WHOLE
BUNCH OF CHALLENGES BUT SHE IN
HER OWN RIGHT BE ON THE BOARD
SHE SAT ON EVERYTHING THAT SHE
DID.
IN THE COMMUNITY WHEN SHE BEFORE
SHE PASSED HAD A SERIOUS
ACCIDENT BECAUSE SHE WAS
STRIPPED ON A STEP IF YOU WANT
TO SOMEONE'S HOUSE TO TAKE CARE
OF THEM.
BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD PASSED AWAY
AND SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF THE
FAMILY THE STORIES OF PEOPLE WHO
SHE BRING GIFTS TO AND SHE WOULD
CALL THE GIFTS NOT BECAUSE THEY
WERE THE BIRTHDAYS OF THE
HOLIDAYS.
SHE CALLED IN JUST BECAUSE GIFTS
BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT ABOUT
SOMEONE AND TOOK CARE OF HIM IN
SO MANY WAYS ALL ACROSS THE
COMMUNITIES NOT JUST IN OUR OWN
COMMUNITY ALTHOUGH JUDAISM WAS
SO IMPORTANT TO HER.
AND I THINK THAT --
SO IT REALLY IS ABOUT SERVICE OR
CHARACTER IT I I WAS WITH HER SO
MANY TIMES IN SO MANY
CIRCUMSTANCES AND OFTEN WE SEE A
PUBLIC FACE OF PEOPLE AND WE SEE
A DIFFERENT FACE.
IN PRIVATE THAT WEOFTEN HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND THAT
WASN'T THE CASE WITH BARBARA
YAROSLAVSKY AND LASTLY THE
UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP THAT THEY HAD.
A IN THE YING AND YANG THEY
REALLY WERE TRUE PARTNERS
ADDRESS LOSSKY WAS A DYNAMIC
FORCE FOR DECADES IN THE CITY
AND THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES IN
SO MANY AREAS.
OF PUBLIC POLICY BUT I WOULD
SUGGEST THAT BARBARA YAROSLAVSKY
WAS AN EQUAL PARTNER IN EVERY
ASPECT OF THAT WORD AND I JOIN
IN.
THE MEMORY IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT OF THAT.
MISKITO MY BROTHER TOLD ME USED
TO WORK FOR GORE FACES A SECOND
CASE IN THE LA COUNTY --
MUSKEGO --
MUSKEGO IT REALLY IS THE POINT
THAT YOU MADE ABOUT YOU KNOW
JUST WEST OF OUR DIAL THING WE
CAN THINK ABOUT BUT HERE IT IS
OUR OWN BACKYARD TO SOMEONE WHO
WE DEARLY LOVE.
ADJOURNING OR MEMORY.
THANK YOU CENTER HERTZBERG
CENTER JACKSON IS VERY BRIEFLY I
FEEL AS OF THAT THE THERE NEED
TO BE A WOMAN'S VOICE TO THIS
BECAUSE BARBARA --
MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT --
WOMEN NEEDED TO STAND UP AND
SPEAK OUT AND I HAD THE HONOR
AND PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING BARBARA
SHE WAS VERY ACTIVE IN HADASSAH.
AND AS SOON AS SHE HEARD THAT MY
MOTHER HAD BEEN A LIFE TIME
MEMBER OF HADASSAH WE BECAME
LIFETIME FRIENDS.
AND I THINK THAT SORT OF THE
PICS THIS WAS LOVE LIFE LOVE
PEOPLE LOVE TRYING TO FIGHT FOR
JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR
EVERYONE.
AND SO I WANT TO JOIN MY MALE
COLLEAGUES BARBARA YOUR VOICE
WAS HEARD.
INSPIRED ME TO GET UP ON BEHALF
OF THE WOMEN OF OUR COMMUNITY
THE WOMEN OF THE STATE.
THE JEWISH WOMEN OF HADASSAH AND
ALL THE OTHER GROUPS THAT --
