Der Nister Downtown Jewish Center is a synagogue and cultural center on the 14th floor of the century-old Spring Tower Lofts, formerly the Barclay Bank Building, on Spring St. between 6th and 7th in Downtown LA.

Der Nister is a space for you to feel at home with your full Jewish self. We hold religious services and host plays, concerts, readings, gatherings and more for the Downtown and Greater Los Angeles community.

Der Nister (Yiddish: The Hidden) is the brainchild of Rabbi Henry Hollander, a Jewish bookseller, and Rabbi Zach Golden, a former Deputy Editor of the Yiddish publication the Forverts, a core team which was later joined by Rabbi Ye'ela Rosenfeld. Located in Rabbi Hollander's antiquarian bookstore, those who come will be surrounded by treasures of Jewish civilization - Jewish books that span the centuries, and beautiful views of the skyline, deep learning and musical prayer.
