LA WILDFIRES DESTROY MULTIPLE HOUSES OF WORSHIP, BUT COMMUNITIES VOW TO
PERSEVERE


AS SYNAGOGUES, MOSQUES AND CHURCHES BURN TO THE GROUND IN ‘APOCALYPTIC’ BLAZES,
RELIGIOUS LEADERS FOCUS ON CONGREGANTS AND HELPING THOSE WHO HAVE LOST
EVERYTHING

California on January 7, 2025 (JOSH EDELSON / AFP)

AP — Flames were already attacking the campus of Pasadena Jewish Temple and
Center when the cantor, Ruth Berman Harris, and three companions rushed in to
rescue its sacred Torah scrolls.

Physically, that’s now all that is left of the 80-year-old synagogue, destroyed
by wildfires that also destroyed a mosque, a Catholic parish and a half-dozen
Protestant churches. Many members of these congregations were among the
thousands of Angelenos who lost their homes this week. As the threat of new
fires persisted, clergy were left with the huge challenges of offering comfort
and pondering paths toward rebuilding and recovery.

“There’s absolutely nothing except for a few walls and the empty space,” said
the Pasadena Jewish Center’s executive director, Melissa Levy.



Nevertheless, hundreds of its congregants have gone to the site “to say,
‘Goodbye’” to the places where they celebrated milestones in their faith and
family lives, Levy added.


NAVIGATING ROAD CLOSURES TO RESCUE TORAH SCROLLS

Berman Harris — along with her husband, another congregant and a custodian —
managed to get the Torah scrolls into their cars and whisked away to safety
before the synagogue was engulfed in flames Tuesday night.

“It’s the heartbeat of any Jewish community,” she said of the Torah. That’s why,
despite road closures, she rushed in to try to save the scrolls after a
congregant who lives near the temple called her to say the flames were getting
closer.

Several houses of worship were destroyed in Pasadena and Altadena, including a
mosque — Masjid Al-Taqwa, leaving its small, tight-knit community mourning the
loss of a beloved gathering space. One of its board members lost his house in
the fire, along with at least 10 of the faithful, said the volunteer imam,
Junaid Aasi.

“So many families called it their second home,” Aasi said of the mosque. It was
started as an African American place of worship, and in the past 20 years had
attracted diverse young families as well as professionals and college students.

Its backyard had become a place of community celebration nightly when breaking
the fast during Ramadan, with children doing art activities like painting
murals.

“It was a sense of belonging for us,” Aasi said.

Samar Ghannoum, a professor at the University of Redlands, has prayed at the
mosque with her family since the 1990s. It was Ghannoum’s daughter who alerted
that the mosque was destroyed.

“When she called and said, ’Mom, the masjid is burned,” and was in tears, my
heart broke,” Ghannoum said Friday.

Earlier in the day, she had gone for midday prayer to another mosque, where
congregants added the “Salat al-Istisqa,” a prayer for rain rooted in the
Islamic belief that God’s mercy provides sustenance.

Community fundraising efforts have already started to rebuild, with donations
surpassing $100,000 by Friday night. For Friday prayer, Aasi shared a list of
neighboring mosques; for Ramadan, the faithful hope to be able to secure a space
to gather again as a community.

The wildfires destroyed Altadena Community Church, as well as several homes
owned by members of the congregation of about 60 people, said its pastor, the
Rev. Paul Tellström.

“It’s shocking,” said Tellström. “It’s a reminder to us of all of the fragility
of life.”

WORSHIP WITHOUT A BUILDING

The church, built in the 1940’s, was known for its colorful stained glass and
for hosting a popular choir.

The church’s Facebook page shared images of the building engulfed in flames.
Another photo showed parishioners singing outdoors. Underneath, the image it
read: “WE are the church! We can worship anywhere.”

“This is a big blow, but it will not impede our progress,” Tellström said. “The
most important takeaway is that we are the church — not the building.”

Altadena United Methodist Church also burned down, as did homes of many members,
according to Facebook posts by its pastor, the Rev. J. Andre Wilson.

“Our building is gone,” he wrote. “But YOU and US, are the church.”


FIRE SPOILS CHURCH’S WEEKEND WEDDING PLANS

Ricardo Springs II, a church member who came to see the remains of the building,
said the congregation had been planning this Sunday to host the wedding of a
couple that recently joined the church.

The devastation is “just heartbreaking,” he said. “God will see us through
this.”

“My sons grew up in this church, my wife grew up in this church,” he told The
Associated Press on Thursday. “It’s an awesome church community.”

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Altadena also was destroyed.

“It is with a broken heart that I share with you the news that our church
building is lost,” the Rev. Carri Patterson Grindon, the rector, wrote on
Facebook. She said several community members lost their homes and the church
staff was organizing a network of mutual support.

“We will need one another in the days ahead as we face these devastating
losses,” she wrote. “I am here for you, and I know our community will hold
together, and love and support one another through whatever lies ahead.”


PRAYERS — AND FAITH — BOLSTER AFFECTED CONGREGATIONS

The Parish of St. Matthew, an Episcopal church in Pacific Palisades, whose
campus also includes a preschool-through-8th grade school, reported that all of
its clergy residences were destroyed, though its sanctuary, middle school and
other buildings were intact.

The church has hosted online gatherings, using the liturgy of Compline or night
prayer.

“We feel your prayers,” the school’s chaplain, the Rev. Stefanie Wilson, said in
the Thursday night online gathering, responding to the outpouring of concern
from people far and near. “We need them and we want them and we feel that you’re
with us right now.”

In Pacific Palisades, Corpus Christi Catholic Church was destroyed. Its website
displayed a photo of the skeletal remains of the church, accompanied by this
message: “I have no words. Our beautiful church in Pacific Palisades, as of this
morning.”

Also destroyed was Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church, which posted photos on
its Facebook page showing the church intact before the fire and in ruins
afterward.

Throughout the stricken areas, faith leaders were concerned about congregation
members who lost their homes and have found temporary shelter with friends or in
hotels. But they are finding hope in their faith and their communities.

“Nothing in my faith has been rocked by this,” said Melissa Levy of the Pasadena
Jewish Center. “ If anything, it’s been bolstered by the support we have
received and we can give.”


SYNAGOGUES STILL STANDING OFFER A PLACE TO WORSHIP

The Los Angeles area is home to more than 600,000 Jews, the second-largest
community in the United States. The Pasadena synagogue also lost its preschool,
and in Pacific Palisades, fires seriously damaged another synagogue and a Chabad
center, said Rabbi Noah Farkas, president of the Jewish Federation Los Angeles.

Synagogues away from danger will host services over the weekend for those
congregants who cannot attend their regular temples, and volunteers have been
helping with everything from food and cash assistance to providing a dedicated
text messaging line for hundreds of displaced families who have no idea what, if
anything, of their homes survived the fires.

“I’ve been here 32 years and literally every person I know has lost their
house,” Rabbi Zushe Cunin said of the neighborhood of his Chabad center.
“Apocalyptic is the word I’ve been using.”

As clouds of smoke started building in the area earlier this week, Cunin said,
he and other staff escorted about 100 children from their school to safety
through growing traffic jams to the Pacific Coast Highway, and then ran back to
save the scrolls. The fire damaged classrooms and other spaces, though the
sanctuary is intact.

But even as they remain determined to rebuild, the immediate priority for Cunin,
Levy and Farkas is helping their congregants and the broader communities who
have lost all their possessions.

“Even with the people of means, everything is gone,” Cunin said.
