Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Jewish picture books have a long history, dating all the way back to the late 15th century. That was when the first major illustrated religious text—the Prague Haggadah—was published. Before that, illustrations in Judaism were looked down upon. It's come a long way since then, including books like Where The Wild Things are and Curious George. A collection of those works are on display at the Skirball Cultural Center through August. The exhibit is called "Monsters and Miracles: A Journey through Jewish Picture Books," and Rachel Abrams talked with museum director Robert Kirschner to learn more about the medium's history.
