Beth Chayim Chadashim (BCC) is a progressive and diverse community of people who come together to celebrate Jewish faith and culture.  Started in 1972, we are the world’s first synagogue founded by, and with an outreach to, lesbians and gay men. Today our community is an established and essential part of the religious life of Los Angeles.
