Wilshire Boulevard Temple Online

Welcome to WBT@home, our online community where we gather to play, pray, learn, and connect. 

Throughout our rich history, the Jewish people have faced times where we could not visit our temples – but found creative ways to keep our culture alive. In that tradition, we are creating Jewish experiences to bring Wilshire Boulevard to you.

Social distancing, so contradictory to our core value of bringing our community together, may keep us physically apart. Yet there has never been a greater need to find ways to come together.

Here at WBT@home, you will find a calendar of events and activities, videos, tips, and articles to help you stay safe, healthy, and connected to our kehillah

Rabbi Nickerson's Shabbat Message - March 15, 2024

They came from across Los Angeles, including the San Fernando Valley. Forty Jewish parents, representing almost 30 independent schools, eagerly gathered together one night last week in a large, open office space overlooking the Hollywood Hills. They were there to begin their work with a new, grassroots organization that was created just a few months ago by members of our own Wilshire Boulevard Temple community, including my wife, Julia Nickerson, and congregants Wendy Marantz Levine and Modi Wiczyk.

As we welcome 2023 and wish you a warm and wonderful (secular) new year, we gathered many memorable moments from 2022 at Wilshire Boulevard Temple and our schools, camps, and Karsh Center in this short video. 

We look forward to all that we do together in the year to come.

Wilshire Boulevard Temple and University Synagogue: A Timeline

On June 4th, 2022 we virtually celebrated the merger of University Synagogue and Wilshire Boulevard Temple with a special Shehechiyanu Shabbat. To introduce this beautiful service, we began with a powerful video that shared the long history of our two synagogues and the bright future of our community as our congregations unite as one.
