We are offering a weekly morning minyan for our community to say kaddish together. Join our sacred ‘zoom room’ to be with each other and create space for memory. Click here to navigate to our weekly morning minyan page, which hosts the latest Zoom link.
Men of Congregation Emanu-El have a monthly opportunity to socialize and study with a member of the clergy. This cross-generational group provides a small group experience so important to building community.
During our next gathering, on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, you'll have the opportunity to learn with Senior Rabbi Jonathan Singer at Tia Margarita in the Inner Richmond. Join us on the patio for a no-host happy hour. As we sit outdoors, Rabbi Jonathan will teach some Torah and discuss events of Jewish interest.
Imagine a satellite (ULTRASAT) weighing less than 500 pounds—half as much as a horse–that will revolutionize our view and understanding of the Universe.
Because of rapid developments in technology and know-how from a small place (the Weizmann Institute of Science), in a small country (Israel), a never-before-possible worldwide impact is now possible at a modest price and in a short time frame.
When combined with ground-based telescopes in Israel’s Negev Desert and connections to earth’s most sophisticated telescopes and scientific partners, Weizmann scientists will be able to unlock the mysteries of the Universe: gravitational waves—the discovery of which may be the single most important development since Galileo’s telescope– supernovas, mutant planets, and white dwarfs and help find the most likely hospitable and habitable planets for intelligent life.
Join us on November 18, to hear more from the scientists and technicians who make this all possible in just three short years. Then, join us in 2024 at mission control at the Weizmann Institute, where we’ll have a front-row seat when Ultrasat scans the heavens in real-time to alert us and the global scientific community that the show is about to begin.
Join us for In-Person Friday Night Shabbat Service this Friday, November 19th, at 6:00 pm!

Back by popular demand: we’re going on an outdoor hike! This week’s Torah portion is all about Joseph and his beautiful coat. In his honor, we’ll be exploring the colors of the city. What colors might you find? Don your brightest and most colorful outfit as we explore San Francisco for a calm group hike. We’ll walk around some of the most iconic areas of the city and capture beautiful views. Feel free to bring your camera and your best friends. All well-behaved and leashed fur babies are welcome. Attendance is capped at 20 people. Registration is required, and exact location will be sent out a few days before the hike.
If you have animal allergies, please be aware that this is a dog-inclusive event. All are welcome to bring dogs as long as they are well behaved and on a leash.

THIS IS TURKEY BOWL IX
It's time to play football again, which can mean only one thing: Turkey Bowl X is finally upon us! What started 11 years ago with a few people tossing around a football has turned into a full-fledged family event on Thanksgiving morning. Come on out to the Golden Gate Park Big Rec Field near 7th and Lincoln. Bring your family and your best throwing arm, and enjoy a morning of good ol' fun before the feasting begins.
WHEN: Thanksgiving Morning, 8am/8:30am, slowly gather for coffee, stretch, throw around the ball, etc…kick-off usually around 9am. You'll all be home by 11.
WHERE: Golden Gate Park, Big Rec Field, near 7th and Lincoln
WHAT IF I'M HUNGRY?: Doughnuts, coffee, beer.
RSVP if you're in. Invite more friends. Come for an hour if that's all you can do, show up late, leave early – it's all about the fun, betting who gets hurt first and whether Dave Hershenson is still wearing the same cleats.
There's no better way to start this day than on the field having some fun together. See you all there!
Please join us this Friday for a Shabbat service led by our Late Shabbat clergy trio: Rabbi Sydney Mintz, Rabbi Jason Rodich and Cantor Marsha Attie.
