A Celebration of the life and work of Rabbi Larry Raphael, z''l

Saturday, May 4, 2019 • 29 Nisan 5779

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Please join us for a celebration of Rabbi Larry Raphael and his contributions to Sherith Israel, American Jewry and San Francisco. Rabbi Larry, as he was affectionately known, was an engaging presence with a ready smile and a deep reserve of compassion. Larry was also a gifted teacher and led this congregation through some of its most challenging moments.

We look forward to seeing you here.

Teens @ Studio | Friday with the Rabbi
Friday, Sep 19th 6:00p to 8:30p
Our teens have the unique opportunity for dining & dialogue with our Rabbis. These dinners provide a deeper connection with our Rabbis and a chance to explore Judaism’s perspective on topics that interest them. Last year, “relationships” emerged as their theme; courage when dealing with moral problems that teens face, loneliness, navigating friendships, and asking for forgiveness in relationships were just a few things they discussed. Friday night Teens @ Studio dinners are from 6:00-8:30 pm, immediately following our community Kabbalat Shabbat service.
