Whether you've been going to Synagogue since childhood or this is your first time, you will feel right at home!
It's okay to come late and leave before it's over...our religious police have been laid off due to budget cuts 🙂.
You don't have to read Hebrew to enjoy our inspiring and meaningful services.
Full disclosure regarding our sermons: they are apolitical.
Wherever you stand politically, you will feel welcome. We aim to transcend divisions and get in touch the inner core of the Jewish soul that unites us all.
The prayerbooks contain Hebrew and English and pages are announced throughout. And there's lots of singing.
Most of our congregants cannot read Hebrew, yet many report that they have experienced the High Holidays like never before.
Check out the schedule below, and choose the services/times that work for you.

Security:
We have hired one of the Bay Area's premier security firms to provide security for our services, both uniformed and plain-clothed. All congregants will be screened by security before entering the premises, so please be patient when entering. The cost of high quality security guards that are well-trained and who remain alert is not insignificant. If you would like to help cover these costs for the High Holidays and/or for our regular programming, please let us know.
RSVP REQUIRED. RSVP by clicking here.
