Unity in the Commuity
We are two synagogues in Pico that decided to join forces to bring an awesome High Holidays experience to Los Angeles. Please join us for multiple services, programs and classes on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy - a large, bright and secure building. Registration is recommended to ensure you have a spot and for our security.
