Temple Beth Israel is a small, inclusive, egalitarian independent neighborhood synagogue with roots in Highland Park Los Angeles.
Read more about this wonderful temple by Ed Leibowitz, a devoted member and writer for Los Angeles Magazine.
"Since its founding in 1923, Temple Beth Israel in Highland Park has quietly held on, at times just barely. For one lapsed believer, the struggle to keep L.A.’s second oldest synagogue alive has become a test of faith" by Ed Leibowitz
