About Us
At its core, Wilshire Boulevard Temple Religious School embraces the philosophy of reform Judaism - practicing Jewish traditions, ideals and faith, with 21st century sensibilities, innovations, and realities.
Emphasizing mitzvot, values, and rituals, especially tikkun olam, we offer flexible and engaging learning options including: weekly classes, monthly programs, in-home religious school and bar/bat mitzvah preparation, a variety of high school programs, youth groups, retreats, and service learning trips. Upper grade students often choose more than one of our many exciting and challenging options.
With community building as the foundation of all religious school experiences, we provide an environment for active, living Judaism that is sensitive to students’ busy, often overextended schedules. Throughout all of our programming, we ultimately strive to develop each student’s desire for a continued connection to Judaism, our community, Los Angeles, and the world.
