San Francisco has always been the place where new happened.

The leaders and staff are constantly working to create a relevant community for meaningful Jewish exploration. New to town, new to Judaism, or just new to Sherith Israel? Come for a tour of the building, an event for young families or a Friday night service. Whatever your background, identity or level of knowledge, we have the right amount of spice to be your new Jewish home.
