Shabbat Times in Los Angeles

Los Angeles went from eight Jews in the 1850 census to about 565,000 in the county in 2021, moving west with the city.

Jacob Frankfort, a German-born tailor, is the first known Jew in Los Angeles, in 1841; the 1850 census recorded eight Jews. Wilshire Boulevard Temple calls its Glazer campus the original home of Los Angeles' oldest Jewish congregation, and Sinai Temple, the city's first Conservative congregation, was organized in 1906. By the 1920s Boyle Heights was the largest Jewish community west of Chicago, and by 1930 nearly 10,000 Jewish families lived there. The community later moved west: to Pico-Robertson from the 1980s, with its kosher restaurants, synagogues and mikvahs, and to the San Fernando Valley, where Israeli Americans cluster in Encino and Tarzana. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution about 30,000 Iranian Jews settled in Beverly Hills and nearby, and by 2008 Los Angeles had the largest Persian Jewish population in the United States, about 50,000. In 2021, Los Angeles County had about 565,000 Jews, roughly 8 percent of its residents.
