Our Rabbi's Vision

The unique approach of religion through music, drama, art, film, and dance encompasses artists with diverse backgrounds to create new expressions of Jewish worship. It results in a heightened experience, easily accessed by people of any background.

The vision of its founding Rabbi, David Baron, who pioneered the fusion of religion through music, drama and dance, Temple of the Arts, at the 1900-seat restored Art-Deco Saban Theatre is the largest arts synagogue in the United States.

As members of a Temple that is housed on exciting live performing arts venue, special benefits accrue in the form of priority seating and notification.  Last year our venue was home to performances by:  Itzhak Perlman, Joan Rivers, Mel Brooks & Dick Cavett, Deepak Chopra, Carol Burnett, Marlo Thomas, and many others.
