We are grateful to Reynaldo Garcia for his dedication to the Mount Sinai family for 40 years! He began in 1981 and has been an integral part of our team ever since as a mechanic. He can fix anything from our lawn mowers to tractors which are very important in maintaining the integrity and beauty of the Parks. Mount Sinai has been a major part of my life for a very long time, 40 years, and allows me to take care of my family and home which I am grateful for. I work with great people.

Many of our park visitors show their respects by leaving flowers by the grave as a sign of their visit and for various occasions such as birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and Mother’s and Father’s Day. Mount Sinai Memorial Parks is home to an on-site flower shop, Kreations by Karla, to assist with all of your floral needs. Please call 323-769-1338 or visit our website for more information. https://mountsinaiparks.org/flowers/

In death, as in life, Ruth Bader Ginsburg cherished two identities being an American and being a Jew even when they failed to easily harmonize. Her Jewish funeral and Arlington National Cemetery burial speak to her quest to balance these two identities.

Rabbi Sharon Brous joined religious leaders on the Today Show to discuss faith, perseverance and resilience during the pandemic. "People in this country and around the world right now are experiencing a profound sense of loneliness, powerlessness, disconnection, fear, and uncertainty for the future and there has never been a successful movement for social change without song, dance, and laughter. That is why we made sure to include all of these elements as part of our high holy day experience this year." Watch the segment here.

Dedicated to serving the entire community, Mount Sinai Simi Valley offers the full spectrum of Jewish funeral services in a magnificent and inspiring setting. Take a video tour of our beautiful park located just outside Los Angeles. Like its sister property Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills, our property in Simi Valley offers a place of rest, comfort and peace. The entire park was designed to be reminiscent of Israel with rolling hillsides, wide open spaces and modern buildings constructed from Jerusalem stone.

Mount Sinai is honored to be the sole Jewish cemetery in Los Angeles that offers families the opportunity to construct a custom family memorial, known as Sukkot Shalom Canopy of Peace located at Mount Sinai Simi Valley. Our private family mausoleum section, accessed by the aptly named Jerusalem Road, is surrounded by a series of lush gardens and beautiful trees offering dramatic views of the entire park. All of the mausoleums overlook a protected public nature reserve which ensures that the stunning surrounding view will never change.

Wishing our community a joyous Simchat Torah. Our Blessings Mosaic on display at Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills, celebrates the blessings central to our tradition, highlighting Simchat Torah with a beautiful Torah scroll enfolded in a tallit.
