This year’s volume of Jewels of Elul supports the new Pico Union Project, a place where people of all faiths and walks of life will come together to celebrate Holy days, holidays, and the holy in the every day. Originally built by Sinai Temple in 1909, the Pico Union is the oldest synagogue building in Los Angeles. Together with the Jewish Historical Society, the Pico Union is embarking on a new beginning, building out our dream in three areas. Prayer The Pico Union will be a house of worship where people of all faiths can meet and pray in a safe, open space. Performing Arts The Pico Union can seat 375 people and will host world-class musicians, theatre, art, and dance. Sustenance Along with Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), we will create the Holy Ground Café, a teaching kitchen and café providing food for our programs and the local community.

Our Vision

The Pico Union Project is dedicated to the Jewish principle to “love your neighbor as yourself.” We elevate this teaching into practice in our historic building by bringing diverse cultures together through song, story, art, food and prayer. We are a multi-faith cultural arts center and house of worship that aims to help invigorate the community of Los Angeles and reflect the Jewish value of being a light to all nations.
