HISTORY OF TEMPLE AKIBA
Temple Akiba was founded in 1952 by 25 families who felt a need for a reform Jewish congregation in West Los Angeles. Our current facility was completed in 1965. In 1978 Temple Jeremiah of Westchester merged with Temple Akiba. We are excited to introduce our Spiritual leader, Rabbi Zachary R. Shapiro, who came to Temple Akiba in July, 2006.
