Saturday, November 6 (Location TBD)
5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Join the Young Adult community for a special happy hour and discussion with Congregation Emanu-El’s Charles Michael Scholar in Residence Judy Batalion. Judy is the author of The Light of Days, which tells the story of young women resistance fighters who smuggled weapons, assassinated Nazis, and sabotaged German supply lines. (Steven Spielberg recently bought the film rights!) Join us for an outdoor happy hour in San Francisco. After you register, the exact location of the event will be sent out via email closer to November 6.
This program is made possible by the Charles Michael Endowment Fund scholar-in-residence weekend.

The Amazing Technicolor Dream Hike

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.
