Wilshire Boulevard Temple Leadership Solidarity Mission to Israel
Our solidarity trip to Israel is officially underway, and we're thrilled to share a glimpse of our journey through a few captivating photographs from the group. This trip includes Rabbi Steve Leder, current and past Temple presidents, and at least two board members. After visiting the horrific destruction at both Kibbutz Nir Oz and the site of the Nova Festival, our WBT group had dinner and conversation with our soldiers returning from two months in Gaza. They also met with Benny Gantz, toured a new, underground rehab facility, and visited the Western Wall.

Rabbi Eshel's Shabbat Message - January 5, 2024
Rabbi David Eshel led a small delegation of Wilshire Boulevard Temple congregants on a Solidarity Mission. This is his personal journal.
Eleh Ha Shemot…these are the names, a fitting Torah portion to begin my reflection on our Temple’s solidarity trip to Israel over the last few days of Chanukah. The meta truth of my experience is…Everything is personal.
