Late Shabbat

Late Shabbat

The Late Shabbat is the heart of our Young Adult Community at Emanu-El. On the second Friday of every month we regularly welcome hundreds of Jews in their 20’s and 30’s for an evening of community building, incredible music and great food and drink. If you are in your 20’s or 30’s and looking to connect to Bay Area Jewish community, this is the place for you. Wondering if you will feel comfortable? Worried it’s not your scene? Just try us out. We are a big and diverse tent, and it is our priority to help each person who walks through our doors feel welcomed. You don’t need to register, pay or sign up–just show up:

  • 8:00 PM Welcome Reception
  • 8:30 PM Service followed by complimentary snacks, wine & beer.
