On Sunday, April 10, Los Angeles Jewish LGBT synagogue Beth Chayim Chadashim (BCC) celebrated its relocation to a new building by holding a march on Pico Blvd. Led by BCC’s Rabbi Lisa Edwards and Cantor Juval Porat, more than 100 BCC congregants participated.

The march, taking place around 2 p.m., started at the synagogue’s old location at 6000 W. Pico Blvd., near La Cienega Blvd., and ended at the new location at 6090 W. Pico Blvd.

Watch footage of the march, which had temple members carrying the synagogue’s Torahs under a chuppah, as well as an interview with longtime BCC congregant Harriet Perl, below.
