Sinai Temple (Los Angeles)

Sinai Temple, located at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Glen Boulevard in Westwood, Los Angeles, California, is the oldest and largest Conservative Jewish synagogue in the greater Los Angeles area. As of 2009, the senior rabbi was David Wolpe.

Begun in 1906, Sinai Temple was established as the first Conservative congregation in Southern California. Over the years, the congregation has moved several times, until settling at its current location on Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood. Between 1906 and 1925, Sinai Temple was located at 12th and Valencia in Los Angeles, just west of what is now the Los Angeles Convention Center. Having outgrown this facility, the congregation relocated to the mid-Wilshire district in 1925. This synagogue was located at the corner of 4th and New Hampshire. Continuing a westward movement, in 1956, Sinai Temple constructed its third facility at its current location in Westwood on the famed Wilshire Corridor. Expansion to the current building was made in 1998.
