Let's Help Each Other
Wilshire Boulevard Temple is partnering with the Sibs app, a person-to-person exchange, to help connect congregants in need with congregants offering support.
It is going to take us a long time to fully comprehend the impact this will have on our city, our neighborhoods, our community, and the lives of the individuals and families who mean so much to us. First and foremost, this is a time to pray. It is a time to pray for the emergency workers who are working tirelessly across our vast city; a time to pray for the winds to die down and the weather to shift. It is a time to pray for the safety and security of all of those who have been evacuated from their homes. It is a time to pray for strength, comfort, and peace for all those who have lost their most precious memories in homes that have been burned to the ground. It is a time to pray for collective strength and resilience. Pray with words, pray with your texts and calls to friends and loved ones, pray with your wallet and your resources, pray with your hearts and souls.
