| About Temple Judea - History |
| By Gail Aspinwall |
| Temple Judea was founded in 1952 by seventeen Jewish families seeking to build a home for Reform Jewish worship, study and fellowship in the West San Fernando Valley. The group's objective was to create a warm and haimish shul with open doors and open hearts. The temple founders held their first organized meeting at the home of Ben and Lola Greenberg on August 7, 1952, setting annual dues at $52. Just three months later, the founders identified a building in which they could hold services: Community Methodist Church in Reseda, whose own leaders were eager to raise funds to build a new church. Temple Judea's first Shabbat services were held on November 7, 1952, led by Rabbi Alfred Wolf of Wilshire Boulevard Temple with eight families in attendance. |
