a Synagogue without walls
Additional Information
Based in West Los Angeles, Mitzvah Matters is a Synagogue without Walls, dedicated to Jewish education and Celebration, founded by Rabbi Eran Bar-Adon, LMFT. After living in LA for over twenty years and finding that many Synagogues are operated more like corporate business and less like spiritual institutions, Rabbi Eran Bar-Adon created an alternative; A Synagogue without Walls. One that focuses its attention on the people and not on the institution and the building fund. At Mitzvah Matters you come first and no one is turned away. We love our Jewish traditions and rituals, however, we are not orthodox and we welcome all. We follow The ideas of Universal Judaism, ujuc.org allowing all people to participate in Jewish service. We look at what unites us and those from mixed religion Families are always welcomed.
We create beautiful spiritual Jewish services at any location. Knowing that G8D is in our heart and not in a building. Being Jewish is not like a membership at a gym. No monthly fee is required. Participants are asked to contribute only for the services they participate in and those who can make a donation to help those who cannot. It's about the people first, enabling all who seek to engage in Jewish life and Jewish Life Cycle Events.
We have two Torahs, an Ark, Prayer books, Rabbi and Cantorial Soloist. Just like Moses and the Israelites, we can set up at any location and create a meaningful, spiritual Jewish worship service.
We preform Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvahs services, Weddings, Baby Naming, Memorials, Shabbat and High Holy Days services. We also celebrate Jewish Holidays and culture.
