Temple Beth Israel of Highland Park and Eagle Rock is a dual-affiliated[2] Conservative and Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 5711 Monte Vista Street in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California.[3]
First organized as the Highland Park Hebrew School Association in 1923, the congregation completed construction of its Spanish Colonial Revival style building in 1930, at a cost of $4,078 (today $74,000).[2] It is the oldest synagogue in Los Angeles exclusively operating in its original location.[1][4] In July 2023, Rabbi Alex Weisz became the Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Israel, making him the first Gen Z rabbi serving as the spiritual leader of an American synagogue.[5]
