The San Fernando Valley is bounded by mountain ranges, including the Santa Monica, Santa Susana, Verdugo, and San Gabriel. More than half of the city of Los Angeles is found in this area, as well as the cities of Burbank, Calabasas and San Fernando. Los Angeles, itself, is home to the world's fourth largest Jewish population (621,000) after Tel Aviv, New York, and Haifa, so may not be surprising that this region boasts many kosher restaurants, bakeries and delis.
