Our Center for Learning and Engagement aims to create an atmosphere where children of all ages can learn to embrace and to love Judaism.
We offer unique experiences in a nurturing environment that enables students to feel connected to the Jewish community and grow up embracing a life rich with Jewish values, self-esteem and humanity.
Wilshire Boulevard Temple's Center for Learning and Engagement provides an innovative and substantive Reform Jewish education based on the values, traditions and history of Judaism. We provide the only accredited once-weekly Jewish education program in the nation.
Four Branches of Learning
Our curriculum is based on four branches of Jewish tradition and learning: Luach (calendar: life cycle and holidays), T’filah (prayer and the prayer book), Israel (the land and community) and Torah (text exploration). Like a continually renewing forest, the Jewish cycle of repetition allows familiar material to become new again every year. Hebrew is woven throughout to provide a wholistic learning environment. Children learn without even knowing they’re learning! It’s a warm and friendly environment where everyone feels safe to question and to explore opportunities.
Trees represent life and all its phases...
We’ve given our groups names from the world of trees; from young saplings, to trees that grow to give us food and shelter, and that have grown together into orchards and forests. Each has its own character and needs. Like trees, our program itself is growing, adding new gifts. You may learn more about each program below.
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...

The Pardes program is the connection between religious school and high school programs. It parallels the transition between childhood and adolescence.
Our high school programs are open to students in grades 8-12, whose parents are Wilshire Boulevard Temple members. We meet on Sunday mornings at the Temple Campus (Pardes Too is a grade 8 class option at the Irmas Campus) and Wednesday evenings at the Irmas Campus. All the programs begin with a meal and social time followed by educational class sessions.
