As a Rabbi, educator and musician, I am thrilled to be a part of Temple Beth David’s past, present, and future!

Founded in 1947, Temple Beth David was, and still is, the only Reform Temple and Community Center in the San Gabriel Valley.  We have been a diverse, warm, and supportive community and circle of friends from the beginning. And we are continually discovering higher levels of connection, inclusivity and opportunities for growth while bringing people together to find deeper meaning, purpose and friendship into our lives, our community and beyond.

Here at Temple Beth David, we offer regular Shabbat and all holiday services which are a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation with music, inspiration, themes, special guests and more.  Every week is a unique and interactive experience including connections to the Jewish calendar, current events, community celebrations, observances and more.  We are a diverse and warm mix of congregants who participate and make the experience all the more engaging and inspiring.

Temple Beth David also has a long list of events and learning opportunities for all ages to be involved with special interest groups, interfaith work and social action.  And, we are always looking for new ways to connect people through the local community and worldwide in our online home.  Yes, thanks to the wonders of modern technology and the hard work and dedication of our team, we are now blessed and excited to extend the Temple Beth David community beyond Southern California and throughout America and the world.

We look forward to welcoming you, your family and friends to Temple Beth David.  Together, we can continue to build a future that is filled with joy, meaning, connection and friendship that will bring us all to a better place in our lives, our communities and to all good people.  I hope you will see the value of becoming part of our family and circle of friends, in person or online.

Toddah rabbah (Many thanks),

Rabbi Ira
