If your gift is in memory of a loved one or friend, there is a tribute option for you to select on every form.

Thank you for being a part of our Wilshire Boulevard Temple community. Thank you for giving!

Temple

Among the meaningful things the Temple Fund makes possible for our community, two are critical. The first is to keep us, our children, and our grandchildren safe. We take the responsibility for Temple security in this ever-changing world very seriously and devote whatever resources necessary to ensure that our security team, their equipment, and each campus’ security infrastructure are world-class. This is an enormous financial burden for the Temple, but one we must fulfill no matter what.

The second crucial use of the Temple Fund is to provide the necessary financial assistance to more than 800 families who could otherwise not afford to be a part of our community. The answer to any and every Jewish family that wants to participate fully in Jewish life must be yes.

Please give what you can this year to the Temple Fund so that our great congregation and its families grow and thrive in safety. It is a mitzvah of the highest order.

Our blessings are our staff and wonderful students and families - many families need our financial assistance in order to attend our school. Please share the love of learning and community this holiday season.

Camps

Donate

Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps

Last year, we allocated more than $200,000 to 137 campers to attend camp or go on our teen Israel program. As scholarship requests continue to increase, we depend on the generosity of our camp community to enable more children to experience the transformative experiences found at camp or by traveling to Israel.

We also seek to provide additional programs and bring artists and scholars in residence to our camps throughout the summer to enhance the campers experience. Donations to the Kehillah Community Fund also fund additional programming enhancements such as these.
