Welcome to the Center for Learning and Engagement

Dear Parents,

It’s our great pleasure to welcome you to Wilshire Boulevard Temple’s Religious Schools. This year, we’ve built on the outstanding program we’ve always offered and reframed key features to help meet the evolving needs and desires of young people and their families.

Our mission is to integrate the three pillars of Jewish living: Torah (study), Avodah (celebration and worship) and G’milut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness). Unified campuses offer special centers for discovery and connection, and our staff has the same creative, caring approach to each and every child’s needs.

Children will learn Hebrew, interact with prayers, study Torah, explore Jewish traditions and rituals, and engage with Jewish values—all in a setting that is friendly, welcoming, safe and fun.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re now including our Temple Camps in Malibu as a year-round learning environment. We’re blessed to have these exceptional facilities, giving us the unique ability to offer such an outstanding opportunity.

All in all, it’s a unified, comprehensive approach, and we’ve added to our name to embody our philosophy: The Center for Learning and Engagement.

We’re all excited about the possibilities of this program, and we’re sure you will be as well — now and for years to come— as your family grows with deep friendships and solid values, with commitment to Judaism and improving the world.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your thoughts.

L’ Shalom,

Rabbi Laurie Phillips
