JEWISH IDENTITY
By instilling a connection to Jewish tradition, rituals, Torah, history, and Hebrew, we strengthen a student’s Jewish identity.
JEWISH COMMUNITY
By making the temple a second home and building lasting friendships through meaningful conversation, engaging activities, retreats, youth group, travel to Israel, music, and art, we strengthen a student’s place in Jewish Community.
JEWISH FAITH

By participating in the celebration of Shabbat and holidays, learning Jewish prayer and honest exploration of our faith, we strengthen a student’s sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude.

Upcoming Events:

OBKLA Volunteer Night
Tue, Nov 10, 2026 – 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
In Los Angeles, 1 in 4 households—about 25%—are experiencing food insecurity. Families who were already struggling are being pushed even further by rising gas prices, higher grocery costs, and the overall cost of living. For many in our city, putting food on the table has become an increasing challenge.
Our tradition teaches that feeding those in need is not just an act of kindness but also a sacred responsibility. We are committed to live this value in a meaningful way by volunteering as a community monthly at OBKLA – A Kitchen with a Mission.
Please join Temple members and clergy to:
·   Prepare 300 meals and 600 chocolate chip cookies from scratch under chef directions.
·   Build community—both within our synagogue and beyond
·   Make a tangible impact through acts of kindness.
We suggest wearing comfortable shoes as we will be standing at stations for about two hours. Water bottles are provided and everyone is invited to sample the cookies made fresh out of the oven. You can learn more about OBKLA here!
We’re excited to offer a special evening for our Isaiah community to cook and share a meal together at OBKLA. Reserving the space for the night, including all food and supplies, costs $1,800. To help make this possible, we are asking participants to contribute $25 each toward the evening. If contributing presents a financial hardship, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Deborah Moses. We want this night to be fully inclusive, and we never want cost to be a barrier to taking part in this shared experience.

Join us for a beautiful Shabbat experience with truly something for everyone.

After praying together, we will have both adult-focused and child-centric Shabbat dinners. Following the kids’ dinner, Rishonim and teachers will lead fun activities for our children, allowing the adults in our community to enjoy each other’s company in real Shabbat Shalom.

People of the Book Club
Sun, Nov 15, 2026 – 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
People of the Book Club Discussion for “People Love Dead Jews” by Dara Horn
Facilitated by: Rabbi Adam Allenberg
With “People of the Book” as Isaiah’s theme for High Holy Days 2026, we are proud to present a community-wide monthly “book club” from September 2026 through June 2027. All adult and teen (13+) members of our community are invited to read and participate. Each book is connected in some way to Judaism, Jewish life, identity, or learning and have been vetted and treasured by our clergy and staff.
This discussion will be presented in-person and online. Close to the date of discussion, each registered participant will receive a Zoom link, should they choose to participate virtually. Discussion facilitator will communicate in advance if changes need to be made.
While reading that month’s book is highly encouraged, you do not need to read or complete the book to participate in the discussion. We look forward to reading with you! Learn more about People of the book.
