History
The congregation was started in West Adams, Los Angeles in 1925.[3] It was named West Adams Hebrew Congregation, and it was located at the corner of West Adams Street and Hillcrest Drive.[3]
In 1954, it relocated to Olympic Boulevard in Beverly Hills.[3][4][5][6] At the same time, the congregation became more traditional and Orthodox under the leadership of Rabbi Simon A. Dolgin.[3][5][6] In 1955, its day school was named the Hillel Hebrew Academy and moved into a building one block away.[3]
After Dolgin moved to Ramat Eshkol, Jerusalem, Israel, Maurice Lamm served as rabbi from 1971 to 1984.[3] He was followed by Abner Weiss from 1984 to 2000, and Steven Weil from 2000 to 2009.[3][1] Since 2009, Kalman Topp has served as the Senior Rabbi.[3]
