Joyfully come together to explore life’s big questions, drawing inspiration form the timeless Jewish wisdom, celebrating the seasons, our city and one another.

Jewish life at the JCCSF is about connection, creativity, and community. It’s also about doing – engaging and creating in ways that are meaningful right here, right now. Doing Jewish doesn’t require “being” any particular path or tradition. We live and do Jewish life as a conversation,  a volunteer project, a shared meal, a ritual reimagined or a moment of reflection.

At the JCCSF, we provide space, learning and inspiration so you can discover your won modern way to live, experience and celebrate how YOU do Jewish!
