Join Emanu-El historian, Judi Leff, for a tour of the fascinating and beautiful Home of Peace and Hills of Eternity cemeteries in Colma.  Hear about the famous and lesser known luminaries who helped shape the Jewish community and the entire city of San Francisco.  We will visit the final resting places of Levi Strauss, I.W. Hellman, Wyatt Earp, Julie Rosewald and others. Come hear about scrappy boxers, irascible newspaper publishers, sharpshooting champions, politicians, pranksters, and thespians galore.

At Emanu-El, we are an active community of lifelong Jewish learners – in the endless pursuit of spiritual growth and exploration. As Jews, we are compelled to question and debate. These conversations energize us as we gain new perspectives and challenge our own long-held beliefs. Our shared desire for knowledge and for community enriches us as individuals and bonds us as a congregation. Emanu-El thrives when we are learning together. We hope that you will find time on your calendar and in your mind to join us on a thought-provoking and powerful Jewish journey.
