After 100 years serving the local Jewish community, the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center was destroyed in the Eaton Fire. The congregation says it will rebuild.

The Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center burns during the Eaton fire in Pasadena on Jan. 7, 2025. The photograph is devastating, especially for those who know the building: flames engulfing a building framed by Spanish mission revival arches.

The Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center was built 84 years ago. It became engulfed by the Eaton Fire overnight Tuesday.

Authorities evacuated a senior center as the Eaton Fire spread through the Angeles National Forest near Altadena and Pasadena Tuesday night.
