Hollywood Temple Beth El, the first synagogue of Hollywood, marks its 100th High Holy Day Services since its founding in 1922.
Rabbi Norbert Weinberg stated that this centenary has a very important message for us all: “Join with us, in the spirit of the early figures of Hollywood—the Warner Bros, Laemmle, The Vamp, Edgar G. Robinson, Hal Wallis, and many others, who came together to find a Jewish with Hollywood Temple Beth El. We have kept our services going, through the Great Depression, through WW II and now, through the COVID pandemic, even if, for a while, we moved to online for safety’s sake. Now, we are once again holding our services in person, a reminder that there is always a proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel.”
Join us for beautiful and deeply moving services led by Rabbi Norbert Weinberg and Cantor Isaac Boudaie . The Mahzor, prayerbook, used is specially designed with contemporary readings, translations, and transliterations, so that the ancient Hebrew liturgy is accessible and addresses the spiritual search of the contemporary Jew.
Rosh HaShanah begins Sunday evening, September 25 and runs through Tuesday, September 27. Yom Kippur begins Tuesday evening. October 4, and continues through Wednesday, October 5 . The services will be conducted in the synagogue, with access through streaming services for those unable to attend in person.
Registration and donations to join in either in-person or on-line must be done through Eventbrite.com or by mail to Hollywood Temple Beth El, 1317 N Crescent Heights Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90046

The Temple Beth El which is a landmark has curiously been overlooked in receiving Cultural Resource status. The Iranian property owners IAJF & IAJC have plans in the pipeline to develop the property by erasing the temple as well as Neman Hall the “Party Palace” that disrupted the neighborhood for at least 10 years. An adjacent property owner ultimately prevailed with a suit against the city.
