About Project HEROES
Project HEROES (Jewish Heroism Experience for Humanity) exists to recenter the Jewish narrative on heroism, moral clarity, responsibility, solidarity, and resilience, and to invite audiences to live those values. Launched with the October 7 Heroes Commemoration, it has become a global platform: producing concerts and storytelling programs across North America and Israel; developing educational resources with partners like StandWithUs and Taglit–Birthright Israel; and earning endorsements from civic and cultural leaders, including a foreword by President Isaac Herzog for the official HEROES book. Through music, film, and learning initiatives, Project HEROES preserves eyewitness accounts, honors lifesaving acts, and builds a living archive of modern Jewish heroism.
Celebrating 162 years in Los Angeles and one of America’s most highly respected congregations, Wilshire Boulevard Temple has been serving the Los Angeles Jewish community since its founding in 1862 as Congregation B’nai B'rith, the city’s first synagogue. Today, Wilshire Boulevard Temple carries out the mission through a variety of ways, as 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.
