Los Angeles Jewish Community Organizations

 

This exhibition hall includes Jewish Community Organizations created by early Jewish pioneers of Los Angeles.

Each organization is over 100 years old. Some split off from older organizations.

As noted by Rabbi William Kramer z”l: “Many organizations got so wrapped up in their growth – that they lost track of their beginnings.”
