Welcome

We invite you to be part of our warm, inclusive community 

Join us for services in our jewel of a sanctuary 

Find new inspiration in our soaring dome and beautiful stained-glass windows—and a warm spiritual home in the embrace of community.  

Discover why Sherith Israel has so much to offer

Share inspirational, uplifting musical Shabbat and High Holiday services that feed our souls. Onegs afterwards feed our bodies and spirits as we nosh, relax and schmooze. We are proud, too, of our fulfilling social action and community involvement programs, as well as extraordinary educational opportunities for children, teens and adults. 

Celebrate the diversity of Sherith Israel’s Judaism

We love the openness of our congregation. It makes room for spiritual and secular Jews; people born into Reform, Conservative or Orthodox Jewish homes; interfaith couples; and those who have chosen Judaism as adults. Our doors and arms are open, whatever your religious background, ethnicity or sexual orientation. 

Meet congregants who are high-touch and high-tech

We are architects and engineers, doctors and lawyers, scientists and artists, teachers and social workers, chefs and writers. We produce video games, design software and stay home with our kids. We work at Twitter, Google, UCSF, San Francisco State, the California Supreme Court, and at schools, hospitals and restaurants around the Bay Area.

At Sherith Israel, you’ll find a Reform Jewish community where our spirits soar as we make meaningful memories together. Please join us.
