About Us

With over a decade of hard work and success, Makor HaChaim has become a vital part of the West Valley and greater Los Angeles Community. Our classes, shiurim, events, outreach and programming have attracted thousands of participants over the years. With our warm and inspired approach to transmitting Torah to this generation, we have been able to attract a wide spectrum of congregants, students and members of all ages and backgrounds. From the unaffiliated Jew searching for more meaning, to the seasoned veteran looking to expand their spiritual horizons, and everyone in between – Makor HaChaim is dedicated to connecting the beautiful Jewish neshamos (souls) that we meet with Judaism Straight From The Source.

About Us

Our History

In the Summer of 2009, a small, yet committed group of like minded individuals, were dreaming of a Torah Center and a Shul where they could grow in Torah, Prayer and Yiddishkeit. That dream became reality when Makor HaChaim opened its doors for the first time. As we began to develop and grow our Kehillah, we were always missing one important thing - more space! After 12 years of being tucked away in an office building, we have just opened our brand new, state of the art, beautiful building -- now we can take Makor HaChaim to the next level, with Hashem's Help.

ABOUT THE RABBI

Rabbi Dovid Horowitz

After spending many years in Yeshiva and Kollel, in Israel and Baltimore, where he received semicha
from Ner Yisroel, Rabbi Horowitz returned to his home town of Los Angeles with a clear mission
and vision in mind: to bring the light of Torah to this community, in an authentic, real, unique
and passionate way. Rabbi Horowitz’ down to earth approach, guided by his love of Torah and
his fellow Jews, has made him a sought after speaker and teacher, whose insightful classes are
able to connect with the hearts and souls of the listeners, inspiring them to new awareness of
their spiritual greatness, while empowering them to tap into their wellsprings of potential for
true growth.
