Pacific Jewish Center, Orthodox synagogue in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, United States.
The Pacific Jewish Center occupies a converted power station building at 505 Ocean Front Walk, directly facing the Pacific Ocean and Venice Beach boardwalk.
The synagogue building, completed in 1925, transformed from a power station into a religious center and received landmark status from the City of Los Angeles.
The center maintains an open-door policy, welcoming Jews from different denominations while preserving Orthodox traditions through services, education programs, and community events.
The synagogue operates regular services, Torah classes, and community gatherings, with access available through the main entrance on Ocean Front Walk.
The California Coastal Commission approved the construction of an eruv in 2006, allowing Orthodox Jews to carry items during Shabbat in the Venice Beach area.
