Leo Baeck Temple
Larry Stammer writes in his Oct. 23 account of Rabbi Jacob Pressman’s 80th birthday that Sepulveda Pass has been likened to the Hills of Judea because of the many Jewish institutions located there. He fails to list the grandpa of them all, Leo Baeck Temple, which was built in the mid-’60s before any of the organizations listed. Our temple has been described as a bowling alley, a supermarket or “Our Lady of the Freeway.†But regardless, we were there first!
