Jewish Community

According to Los Angeles’ Jewish Deaf Community Center, “The Jewish community in the Pico/Robertson area is a very close-knit community.”

The neighborhood features at least ten strictly kosher restaurants, including delis, Chinese, Italian and Mexican restaurants, a donut shop, a frozen yogurt shop, bakeries, and butchers. The community features the Los Angeles Mikvah and several Jewish day schools and Yeshivas. The Chabad community operates two schools, Bais Chaya Mushka and Bais Chana, both of which are on Pico Boulevard. Yeshiva University High School has campuses on both South Robertson Boulevard and West Pico Boulevard, in the heart of the Pico-Robertson Jewish community.

The community overall has a wide variety of Jewish denominational groups. In recent years, the Orthodox community has especially grown. This is evident in the growth of the Hasidic community. According to Chabad, the Hasidic movement has seven centers in the immediate Pico-Robertson area, including the two high schools, four synagogues, and a community center. The Orthodox Union reports that there are nine Orthodox synagogues in the area.
