Young Israel of Northridge was founded in 1981 by the Macales, Jacob and Yarmak families who were looking for a synagogue with traditional values that adhered to Jewish law. YION moved from house to house until finally settling into its current location in 1989…


Primarily serving the communities of Northridge, Granada Hills and North Hills, YION is an orthodox, friendly, welcoming community with a unique devotion towards genuine spiritual growth. Under the leadership of our dynamic Rabbi Nachi Klein, YION offers: daily minyanim, regular shiurim, weekly classes, one-on-one learning, an active sisterhood, community eruv, a keili mikvah.


Our members are a diverse group of mostly young professionals who enjoy the benefits of a smaller community, where everyone can be involved and make a difference. Other perks include the convenience of the commute from Northridge, as well as the affordable housing prices in the area.


We look forward to a bright future ahead under the guidance of Rabbi Klein, welcoming new families to the community and continuing on our individual spiritual journeys.

The seder is over. You are about to settle back into your chair, when suddenly you are roused from your wine-induced reverie by everyone launching into the traditional rendering of Chad Gadya. “What are we doing singing nursery rhymes at a time like this?” – You think to yourself. “Here we all are energetically belting out a song that everyone sings, and no-one has the slightest idea of what it’s got to do with Pesach!
