Kids growing up with fond memories of their Hebrew School teachers. Imagine that! Walk into any one of our classrooms and you'll hear a lot of spirited discussions, singing and laughing.

Every once in a while someone changes the way we see the world. At Temple Judea, members come together for Torah study, to learn Hebrew, prepare for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, study Jewish art, debate current events, and dive into Talmud and Kabbalah. Whether it's a formal class or a casual hallway conversation, there are always wise people happy to share their knowledge.
Get out your BimBam Hands - Tot Shabbat at Temple Judea is fun for the whole family. Whether it's guitars and drums with our song leader, crazy rabbis who dress in costume to tell stories or the art projects and playground that make the oneg extra special - don't miss Tot Shabbat the first Friday (6:15pm West Campus) and third Saturday (9:30am Tarzana Campus) of every month.
Shabbat -- A little taste of Heaven on Earth, the Talmud tells us. Our Friday night services are a special treat. They're friendly, fun and have something for everyone: music, stories and worship that mix the contemporary with the traditional to make everyone feel welcome and connected.
