Congregation Sherith Israel

Meet us on the Great Meadow at the SF Botanical Garden to play, learn, and celebrate Rosh Chodesh Elul, the beginning of the Hebrew month leading up to Rosh Hashanah! Families will explore the gardens with a scavenger hunt and kids will blow their very own mini-shofarot to wish the world a happy upcoming birthday. The program will be geared toward families with young children, ages ~4–9, but siblings of all ages are also welcome (and we’ll have a tougher version of the scavenger hunt for older kids).

Our volunteers—adults and young people alike—prepare 100 meals that are delivered to two shelters in San Francisco. Information: Nancy Sheftel-Gomes, 415.346.1720, x28, or email Nancy.

This is an opportunity to put our memories on paper and share with a confidential group in a safe setting. The purpose is not style or writing ability but rather the recording and sharing of memories that make each of us unique. Members Only. On Zoom only. Contact Gale Gottlieb: galegott@gmail.com
