1) Persian Jews / Jews on the West side / Beverly Hills
2) Traditional Jews in mid city / Fairfax area

Lots and lots of non- Iranian LA Jews also living in Hollywood Hills/Silver Lake/Los Feliz, Bev.Hills, Westwood, Brentwood, Palisades, Malibu, and Santa Monica/Venice. My sister's congregation, University Synagogue in Brentwood, is not especially Iranian. Most of my nephews' Santa Monica Jewish friends also do not have Iranian/Jewish background. Most are from show biz related or UCLA families. Also there are probably upwards of 150,000 Jews, many of them Iranian, living in SF Valley in places like Encino, Tarzana, West Hills, West Lake Hills, etc.
