Pacific Jewish Center

The Pacific Jewish Center, abbreviated as PJC and also known as the Shul on the Beach, is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 505 Ocean Front Walk, in Venice, Los Angeles, California, in the United States. The synagogue is known for its outreach to unaffiliated and disconnected Jews. The Shul re

mains the last of the synagogues built in Venice during the first part of the 20th century. Although an Orthodox synagogue, worshippers who identify themselves as many different denominations are all welcomed when attending services and other events due to its location in an eclectic neighborhood. The 1925 building, originally a power station, was identified as a City of Los Angeles landmark.
