The Former Temple Judea

Temple Judea at 1227 S. Independence Blvd. was the only Reform synagogue in Lawndale.

It was organized in 1914, moved into 1227 S. Independence Boulevard in 1917 and sold the building to the Greater Progressive Baptist Church (now New Lawndale Missionary Baptist Church) in 1954. Menorahs remain on the roof.

It is not related in any way to Temple Menorah in West Ridge.
