Jewish Family Life
Bring Jewish meaning, connection, and joy into your family’s everyday life with community, resources and support at the JCCSF.
Inspiring the Next Generation – Rooted in Jewish Wisdom, Growing in Community.
We celebrate holidays, explore traditions old and new, and discover simple ways to bring Jewish values into everyday life.
In a city that moves fast and families that juggle so much, the JCCSF offers space to pause, connect, and find meaning. Through festive gatherings and thoughtful conversations, we welcome everyone to grow their Jewish journeys, build community, and shape the next generation with intention.
The JCCSF is grateful to The Tepper Foundation and EarlyJ for their support of our programming for young Jewish families.
