Sinai Temple

Sinai Temple was established in 1906 as the first Conservative congregation in Southern California. The westward movement of the Jewish community of Los Angeles led to the acquisition and development of the current site at Wilshire and Beverly Glen in Westwood in 1956. No standing at 10400 Wilshire Blvd, the Sinai Temple continues to flourish as a leader of modern Conservative Jewish life and thought.
