This awe-inspiring season creates an opportunity for introspection and growth at Temple Israel of Hollywood. Guided by our compassionate clergy, we embark on a journey filled with meditative prayers and deep reflection, kindling a fire of inspiration within us.

High Holiday Appeal

Your annual support helps TIOH serve thousands of adults and children from diverse economic backgrounds with pastoral support, spiritual connection, educational excellence, rich artistic programming, and the security that comes from a deeply committed community. A portion of your contribution also furthers our social justice work in support of Israel, immigration relief, women’s reproductive rights, and our unhoused and food insecure neighbors.
