IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As of Friday, November 7, 2008, we
are holding all of our Shabbat Evening services
and B’nai Mitzvah at American Jewish University (AJU – formerly
University of Judaism) which is located at 15600 Mulholland Drive, Bel
Air, CA 90077.
We will be
using three different worship spaces at the AJU. Most Shabbat
services will be held in the AJU Chapel. Some will be held in
the Gindi Auditorium. ALL Shabbat Alive! services will be
held in the Colen Conference Center. You will find a map of
the AJU campus attached here,
so you will have no difficulty joining us for Shabbat worship.
Service times
will remain the same, and as always, the service schedule can be obtained
in the Bulletin, on this website and on the temple’s voicemail system.
With regard to
the temple construction project, please note that the LBT staff will
remain on site in a trailer, located on the south lawn between the
basketball court and the Early Childhood Center. The main sanctuary
building will be completely fenced and inaccessible, with the majority of
work taking place within the building’s walls. Both the Religious School
and Early Childhood Center will remain in operation on the temple site
during construction and should not experience any disruption with the
exception of some room changes.
We understand
that change is difficult, but it is our community that is special, not our
location. Whether we are together at the beach for Tashlich, at camp for
the congregational retreat, traveling in Israel or Central Europe or at
American Jewish University, we are Leo Baeck Temple.
We look forward
to creating the LBT experience at our temporary worship home. If you
have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
