History

Established in 1946.

It began with a letter from Isaac H. Grancell to Jewish families in the South Bay, inviting them to a meeting about organizing a congregation. On August 21, 1946, this meeting was held and created the South Bay Jewish Community Center. The center was organized to conduct religious education, promote the cultural and spiritual welfare of its members and advance the liberal interpretation of Jewish traditions. In September of 1946, with a nucleus of 17 children, the Religious School was formed. Sisterhood was formed in 1947 and the Youth Group followed in August of that year. The Congregation adopted the name of Temple Menorah in March of 1947.

The Temple has grown and flourished, not only in the number of Congregants, but also in the services we provide. May we continue to grow and may our Jewish community continue to flourish.
