At Wilshire Boulevard Temple, we create space for people to connect, deeply and personally, to Jewish wisdom, tradition, and one another. With open hearts and open doors, we invite discovery, celebrate identity, and help each person find their place in a story that continues to grow.
We encourage you to explore all we have to offer—cultural, educational, interfaith, and social action programs; meaningful lifecycle events and worship services; and an engaged and inspiring clergy. We provide each of our members numerous ways to find connections to a vibrant Jewish community.
At Temple Israel, Jewish wisdom inspires us as we navigate and improve our ever-changing world.
The vision of Temple Israel is to be a world leader of innovative Jewish community.
The values we lead with at Temple are:
Kedusha (Believing): Our beliefs and experience of the sacred evolve through individual reflection, meaningful ritual, and shared experience with our diverse community.
Mah'ahsot (Acting): Our actions are influenced by a commitment to tzedakah, tradition, and openness to reinvention in our ongoing pursuit of justice.
Kehillah (Belonging): Our sense of belonging is cultivated by participating in a committed, welcoming, and inclusive community that is there for each of us wherever we are on our journey and whenever we need it.
