Safety at Wilshire Boulevard Temple Schools: Coronavirus Action Plan

News & Updates

Below are the latest updates from Mayor Garcetti:

  • EMERGENCY SENIOR MEALS RESPONSE: Through a partnership with Everytable and Access Services, we will be providing additional healthy, made-from-scratch meals to the low-income seniors who need them. We will deliver twice as many meals a week to each senior we serve and to more than double the number of seniors that we are helping during this crisis. The only requirements to participate in this program is to be (1) a person of 60 years or older and (2) live in the City of Los Angeles. For seniors interested in participating, please call 213-263-5226, starting today between 9-5 pm. We have thousands of meals ready to be delivered to you or them.
  • RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP ON BLOOD TESTING FOR IMMUNITY: The Mayor announced a new partnership between the City and USC, County Dept of Public Health, Lieberman Research Worldwide, and collaborators at UCLA and Stanford that will address serology tests. These tests will help us understand how far the virus has spread, how fatal it is, how much of our population might be immune, and who is able to donate plasma to fuel treatments.

As Shabbat approaches, let’s think about last week’s famous Torah portion when our ancestors fashioned and worshiped a golden calf--the false God they turned to out of panic--feeling leaderless and lost in the wilderness. In this week’s far less famous Torah portion those same people use gold again, but this time to create the mishkan--the first ever, portable synagogue; a staggeringly beautiful reminder of God’s presence they will carry with them throughout the rest of their desert wanderings. Last week gold resulted in idolatry born of fear, this week it creates a holy space for people to transcend their earthly concerns in order to commune with God.
