Chabad Brings a Jewish Revival to West Adams
Once home to a bustling Jewish community in the 1920s — including Beth Jacob, now the largest synagogue on the West Coast — the historic South Los Angeles neighborhood of West Adams changed over the decades as Jewish families moved to areas like Beverly Hills. For many years, West Adams didn’t have a synagogue or Jewish center of any sort. But recently, a new wave of younger families has begun moving in, including many Jews drawn by the neighborhood’s affordability and central location.
