I would presume that the OP is also not supposed to take a ride in a
car/taxi/bus etc on the Sabbath. If you add in the time taken for the
immigration/customs process, and realise that it's an awful long walk
from LAX airport to anywhere in the city, then much of a delay on the
later flight could start getting tricky.

I have also met orthodox Jews who aren't allowed to handle money on the
Sabbath, so unless the OP is staying with friends he will have needed to
check into a hotel by sunset as well.

BA's 269 LHR to LAX takes that route about once every three months
regular as clockwork I would like to know why .

No, because it's only *Friday* nights that matter.
