About Us

Who are we? The Movable Minyan is an independent congregation in Los Angeles just the right size to welcome and value each person who comes to pray with us. A group of Jewish DIY’ers, we are an egalitarian community of every age and Jewish background, who like to sing, pray, have a good lunch, tell a good story, and catch up on news.

We currently call J Los Angeles at 5870 W. Olympic Blvd. (formally called Westside Jewish Community Center) home.

High Holy Days 

In addition to Shabbat observances, the Movable Minyan also offers year-round holiday activities, including a full slate of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. Find out more clicking below
