In Judaism, the highest form of Chesed (loving-kindness) is Chesed Shel Emet—kindness toward those who cannot repay it. Caring for these grounds is our way of practicing this mitzvah every single day.

Have you ever noticed the symbols carved into Jewish headstones?

They are not decorative. They are biographical.

✋ Hands raised in blessing tell us the person was a Kohen -a descendant of the ancient priestly line.
🕊 A pitcher and bowl signify a Levite, once entrusted with sacred service.
🕎 A menorah represents light, faith, and often the matriarch who illuminated her home.
🕯 Shabbat candlesticks honor the woman who brought warmth and tradition to her family each week.
📖 An open book reflects a life devoted to Torah, wisdom, and learning.
🌳 A tree speaks to deep roots — and when broken, to a life cut short.
🦁 A lion symbolizes strength and the heritage of Judah.
✡ The Star of David affirms enduring Jewish identity.
⛓ A broken chain can mark a generation interrupted.

In Jewish tradition, memory is sacred. These symbols quietly tell the story of lineage, character, devotion, and love.

Every stone carries a story. Every symbol speaks.

Tammi, Kimber and Soheila recently met acclaimed director Eran Riklis whose film "Reading Lo**ta in Tehran" is rooted in resilience, identity, and the courage to hold onto one’s voice.

As a community grounded in memory and meaning, these conversations matter. At Mount Sinai, we see every life as a story worth preserving.

Every family carries history. Every legacy deserves care. Honored to engage with storytellers who remind us that remembrance is an act of strength.

Sacred space isn’t only about remembrance.
It’s also about reflection.

The sound of water.
The feeling of peace.
A moment to just be.

The story of Purim reminds us that miracles aren’t always loud. Sometimes they’re hidden. Sometimes they look like courage. Or love. Or someone quietly protecting their family’s future.

They unfold in ordinary moments, in brave conversations, in thoughtful planning, in choosing to care for the people we love before they ever have to ask.

Not every miracle parts the sea.
Some simply make the path a little steadier for those who come after us.

Chag Purim Sameach.

Our Chevra Kadisha (חברה קדישא), or “Holy Society,” is a sacred group dedicated to honoring Jewish tradition and kavod hamet — dignity for the deceased.

Through Sh’mira (watching over the departed) and Tahara, a ritual performed with prayer, care, and reverence in our Tahara room, each person is lovingly prepared according to Jewish law.

They are then dressed in tachrichim, simple white burial garments symbolizing humility and equality. It is a profound mitzvah and a quiet act of love — one we are honored to uphold for our community.

An inspiring evening at the book event, featuring moderator Stephanie Sherman—a fourth-generation WIZO leader—and speaker Max Levin, former IDF soldier and author of "Under the Stretcher."

Thought-provoking questions, powerful reflections, and meaningful conversation about service, resilience, and lived experience.

Our Advisor, Steph, is grateful to be in community with so many dedicated women, including WIZO LA leadership and familiar faces from across our shared work. Moments like these remind us how important it is to show up, listen, and connect.

Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills

Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries is the largest Jewish mortuary & cemetery organization in California. In 1954, Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills was formally consecrated as a Jewish Memorial Park and since 1964, we have been wholly owned by Sinai Temple of Los Angeles which dedicates its cemetery and mortuary services to the entire Jewish community of Los Angeles.

Providing for Jewish memorial and burial are among the most important commitments that a Jewish community makes to its members. That is our commitment to you.

Our two cemeteries, located in Simi Valley and the Hollywood Hills, offer a variety of burial choices including lawn spaces, wall crypts and family gardens. Because we own over 150 acres of undeveloped land in Simi Valley, we are prepared to meet the needs of the Southern California Jewish community for the next two hundred years.
