Beth Chayim Chadashim (Hebrew: בית חיים חדשים, lit. 'House of New Life'), abbreviated as BCC, is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 6090 West Pico Boulevard, in Mid-City Los Angeles, California, in the United States.
The congregation was founded in 1972, primarily for lesbian and gay Jews.[1][2] The Los Angeles Conservancy acknowledges the congregation as being "culturally significant"[3] as both the first LGBT synagogue in the world, the first LGBT synagogue recognized by the Union for Reform Judaism and, in 1977, as the first LGBT synagogue to own its own building.[4][5][6]
