All the minyans at Beth Am (Conservative temple on La Cienega and Olympic) are egalitarian as is the Shtibl Minyan, a breakaway from Beth Am’s Library Minyan organized by American Jewish University professor Aryeh Cohen. Then there’s another egalitarian minyan that meets in different homes each Shabbat (boasts many members from AJU).
Within walking distance of Pico and Robertson, there are about 30 Orthodox shuls and more than 60 different Orthodox minyans.
