The clergy include Rabbi Isaac Jeret and Cantor Sam Radwine. The synagogue has launched a number of programs including the Adult Education, PreSchool and USY programs. For almost sixteen years, Ner Tamid met in people's homes and later in rented spaces. Finally, in 1977, the synagogue purchased a piece of land and built a permanent structure on it. Because Ner Tamid was one of the first structures to be built on the then-new Crestridge Road, Ner Tamid was able to pick its own numbered address. The number 5721 was selected because this is the Jewish (lunar) year that corresponds to 1961 on the solar calendar, which is the year that the synagogue was founded. To this day, Congregation Ner Tamid's address is 5721 Crestridge Road, Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
