ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Founded in 1953, Temple Akiba is a Reform synagogue located in Culver City.  It serves as a house of worship, nursery school, religious school, youth group and adult education facility.  Temple Akiba has 340 member families.  It has 65 students enrolled in the Nursery School, 150 students in the Religious School and 200 summer day campers.

GRANT PURPOSE

The Campaign of Light project will renovate Temple Akiba’s facility including the entrance courtyard, outside gathering space, sanctuary, social hall, lobby and administrative offices. 

Our commitment has been supplemented by a generous grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles. This gift deepens the impact of our light, and we will be able to better serve the entire community with Torah, worship, and goodness.
