Come celebrate Shabbat with us! Enjoy beautiful rituals, live music and a tasty buffet from Wise Sons at the JCCSF. This special Shabbat is all about gratitude – appreciating our friends, family and all the wonderful blessings in our lives.

Reconnect with old friends, make some new ones and invite your whole crew for the sweetest Shabbat in San Francisco – it’s going to be a night filled with warmth, laughter and joy. Don’t miss dessert with special guest teacher, Yael Kanarek, founder of Beit Toratah, as she explores ancient stories reimagined with women at the center.

Drop-in for dessert and a taste of Toratah with a discussion led by Israeli-American artist Yael Kanarek, founder of Beit Toratah, a groundbreaking project reimagining the Torah by reversing all genders, placing women at the center of our sacred stories and men into the domestic sphere.
