HAVUROT
Families with young children are invited to join our havurah program. Havurot are groups of 10-12 families that meet monthly and program on their own, with the resources and support of the Temple staff. We generally try to match the ages of the children, and encourage the groups to program both adult-child and adults only activities. For an application, please contact Leslie Ticktin, lticktin@emanuelsf.org, or leave a message at (415) 751-2541 x167.
These programs are made possible by a gift from the John and Lisa Pritzker Family Fund.
