In 1906, Sinai Temple was established as the first Conservative congregation in Southern California. From 1906 until 1925, housed at the corner of 12th and Valencia, just west of what is now the Los Angeles Convention Center, the congregation outgrew its first facility. Land was bought at 4th and New Hampshire in the Mid-Wilshire district just east of Hancock Park, and High Holy Days were celebrated in 1925 in the skeleton of the developing new facility.
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. On S'elihot 1960, services were enjoyed in our new sanctuary, with the first school facilities and Kohn Chapel completed in1969. The recent building expansion, completed in September 1998, resulted in vastly improved school and banquet facilities.
Throughout the twentieth century and into this new millennium, Sinai Temple continues to flourish as a leader of modern Conservative Jewish life and thought.
