Temple Beth Am

Temple Beth Am (Hebrew: בית עם, “House of the People”; formerly the Olympic Jewish Center) is a Conservative synagogue located on the corner of Olympic Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard, just south of Beverly Hills, in Los Angeles, California, in the United States. Founded in 1935, it moved into a

new building designed by one of the earliest African-American architects in Los Angeles, Ralph A. Vaughn, in 1959. The synagogue’s current clergy include Senior Rabbi Adam Kligfeld, Associate Rabbi Rebecca Schatz, and Cantor Rabbi Hillary Chorny.
