City overview
Los Angeles pairs beaches, mountains and Hollywood with one of the deepest kosher infrastructures in the United States. It is home to the country's second-largest Jewish community, around 565,000 people. Orthodox life centres on three neighbourhoods: Pico-Robertson on the Westside, Hancock Park and La Brea in the middle of the city, and Valley Village and North Hollywood in the San Fernando Valley. Each has its own cluster of shuls, kosher restaurants and markets within walking distance, and dozens of Chabad houses serve visitors from Santa Monica to Encino.
