Wilshire Boulevard Temple is pleased to work with DRG to conduct this search.

Wilshire Boulevard Temple is a center for Jewish spirituality and celebration, a place for lifelong learning and friendship, and home to an engaged congregation where every person can make a difference. It is one of the largest synagogue communities in the world, a multi‑campus, multi‑entity nonprofit institution encompassing religious life, education, community engagement, social services, and real‑estate. With an operating budget of $45 million, more than 10,000 members, multiple schools, camps, and nationally recognized facilities, Wilshire Boulevard Temple functions at the scale and complexity of a mid‑sized university or cultural institution.

Wilshire Boulevard Temple comprises four distinct campuses, a constellation of sacred spaces across Los Angeles and beyond, each one alive with learning, celebration, and connection.

• Erika J Glazer Family Campus (Mid‑Wilshire):
  Two architectural masterpieces anchor the full city block of our dynamic Glazer Campus: the iconic, Byzantine‑Revival Leder‑Magnin sanctuary (completed 1929) and the modern, award‑winning Audrey Irmas Pavilion (open 2022), which includes the Wendy and Leonard Goldberg Grand Ballroom, chapel/event space, and rooftop venue. The campus also houses Wilshire Schools East (the Erika J Glazer Early Childhood Center and Brawerman East Elementary School), the Center for Youth Engagement’s Edgar
  
  F. Magnin Religious School, and the Karsh Family Social Service Center. In addition, the Glazer Campus proudly provides space to the Wallis Annenberg Gen Space.
• Audrey and Sydney Irmas Campus (West Los Angeles):
  Nestled on a three‑and‑a‑half‑acre city block at Olympic and Barrington, the Irmas Campus offers a contemporary, village‑style setting. It is a hub for education, home to the Mann Family Early Childhood Center, Brawerman West Elementary School, Gloria and Peter S. Gold Religious School, and teen programs of the Center for Youth Engagement. Facilities include the 300‑seat Marcia Israel Chapel/Auditorium, gymnasium, social hall, art and music rooms, and sports field.
• Resnick Family Campus (Brentwood):
  The recently renovated Resnick Family Campus brings together elegant design, modern amenities, and deep Jewish spirit. It houses the Resnick Family Early Childhood Center, the Center for Youth Engagement and Elaine and Bram Goldsmith Religious School, and the Karsh Tikkun Olam Center. Event spaces include the Kopelson Family Sanctuary, Gray Family Chapel, Seigel Lounge, and Klein Hall.
• Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps & Steve Breuer Conference Center (Malibu):
  Located in the Malibu hills, Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps (Camp Hess Kramer and Gindling Hilltop Camp) offer unforgettable summers by the sea. The campus also houses the Steve Breuer Conference Center, providing hotel‑style accommodations and inspiring views for spiritual retreats, adult learning, and organizational gatherings. After the 2018 Woolsey Fire, the camps operate offsite in Carlsbad while rebuilding Malibu property.
