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 Nanus's Shabbat Message - December 9, 2022
One of the reasons that our ancestors in the Torah are so compelling is that they are not perfect. Instead, they are complex and complicated people who must grapple with the human condition and their own inner demons. They are not archetypes; they are not symbols; instead, they are like us, flesh and blood human beings with frailties and flaws.
