Historic groundbreaking for the Wilshire Boulevard temple that is the current synagogue building we use today. Plans for the architecture were carefully considered, and finally it was agreed that the temple should be made of stones, to look like the stones of Jerusalem. It was to be built in the style of the Old City of Jerusalem. The resulting building, the only one of its style, stands impressively on the city’s major boulevard. By this time the congregation had over 600 members.
