Fire Destroys Building

In 1940, a devastating fire destroyed the building. It was a complete loss except for a few items.

San Jose firefighters heroically trying to save our Temple.

Torahs, the Ner Tamid (eternal lamp) from the sanctuary, and stained glass windows were rescued from the tragic fire. These historical artifacts enhance the beauty of our current facility: The Ner Tamid and the stained glass windows continue to brighten and adorn our chapel.
