Flames from wildfires in Los Angeles destroyed several houses of worship, including a synagogue, a mosque, and multiple churches. Congregants rushed to save sacred Torah scrolls and say goodbye to the places where they celebrated milestones in their faith. Despite the devastation, faith leaders are finding hope in their communities and are determined to rebuild. Congregation members who lost their homes are finding temporary shelter with friends or in hotels, and faith leaders are providing assistance and support to those in need.
