Volunteering
Engagement here is all about action. It’s meals prepared, voices raised, hands held, ideas shared. Every small act of showing up builds momentum, turning care into change and Jewish faith into something you can feel.
Bring your time, your talents, and your tenderness and discover how powerfully we can build when we do it side by side.
Karsh Family Social Service Center
The Karsh Family Social Service Center at our Glazer Campus in Koreatown is a vital hub for compassion and practical support, providing thousands of Angelenos with access to healthcare, food assistance, mental health resources, and legal aid. This work transforms lives with dignity and hope. Our reach extends to the Resnick Campus with the Karsh Tikkun Olam Social Service Center (Karsh West), a vibrant volunteer hub where people of all ages can pack lunches, assemble toiletry kits, write postcards to isolated seniors, and more—matching passion with purpose and building community through service.
Shared Purpose in Practice
Service is a powerful way to connect—across generations, across experiences, and across our community. At Wilshire Boulevard Temple, families often serve side by side, creating lasting memories while modeling Jewish values in action. Children participate through school-led projects like packing meals or assembling care kits, while adults find roles that reflect their interests and availability. Whether you're just getting started or deeply rooted here, there’s a meaningful way to give back—and we’ll help you find it.
Tikkun Olam in Action
Beyond the walls of our campuses, we are present wherever compassion calls.
Our Disaster Response Team is trained and mobilized to serve communities facing wildfires, floods, and other emergencies, bringing comfort and relief when it’s needed most. Seasonal initiatives like holiday food drives and the Karsh Center's “Big Give” Thanksgiving meal distribution rally the entire congregation to stand together in service, transforming generosity into shared celebration.
