Judaism, Lived Daily
From the joy of Shabbat to the depth of lifelong learning, from festive celebrations to quiet moments of reflection, this is a community where tradition is lived, not just remembered. Experience the joy of living Jewishly, together.
Rituals, Reflections, and Celebrations
Jewish living is about cultivating intention, connection, and spiritual awareness in the flow of everyday life. At Wilshire, Shabbat becomes a weekly invitation to reset and reconnect, and each holiday is an opportunity to anchor ourselves in our tradition and our community.
Shabbat
Shabbat at Wilshire is a breath of fresh air, an open-hearted gathering of music, prayer, and presence. With services across all three campuses and online, we offer many ways to mark this weekly pause, whether through song, story, or shared meals.
Holidays & Festivals
The Jewish calendar comes alive here with celebration for every generation. From the High Holy Days to Simchat Torah, from Purim parades to Shavuot study, each moment is designed to deepen connection, with tradition, with community, and with the sense of wonder we weave into everyday life.
With You in Every Season
Jewish life is made of meaningful experiences, births, weddings, losses, and all the in-betweens. At Wilshire, we walk with you through each one with open hearts, ancient wisdom, and deep care. Whether you are welcoming a child, preparing for a wedding, mourning a loved one, or marking a personal milestone, our clergy and community are here to support you.
Sanctifying Life's Moments
We honor the full arc of Jewish life through meaningful rituals that uplift and comfort. From b'rit milah and b'rit bat to weddings, funerals, shiva and Yizkor, our team is here to help you mark these passages with dignity, beauty, and belonging.
B'nei Mitzvah
Becoming a B'nei Mitzvah at Wilshire is a powerful rite of passage that goes far beyond the ceremony. With personalized preparation, supportive mentors, and deep community, students step into a lifelong relationship with Jewish life.
