Congregation Beth Israel-Judea
Welcomes You!
We are a warm and vibrant intergenerational synagogue located in the south-west corner of San Francisco, with members living in the City as well as the northern Peninsula region . Our community is a diverse and haimash group of people that welcomes everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or ethnic heritage. We open our arms to singles, families, interfaith families and single parents.
We hope that you will find a comfortable place in our community.
Beth Israel-Judea worship seeks to nurture the Jewish soul. From our Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat and weekly morning prayers to the holidays, our services present a unique blend of traditional and contemporary practice, and always with beautiful music. The congregation was formed by a merger of Conservative and Reform synagogues and we are affiliated with both organizations.
Our Rabbi Rosalind Glazer and Cantor Ellen Schwab are committed to a Judaism that is vibrant, relevant and compelling. They want to make Beth Israel-Judea your "spiritual home."
The congregation offers excellent educational programs for children, families and adults. Our younger students enjoy state-of-the-art facilities with a top-notch and nurturing educator and faculty. A weekly Torah study group and other learning programs are available for adults.
The members of Beth Israel-Judea encourage Tikkun Olam, the "repair of the world," with service through our social action committee and other groups. One of our projects includes The Book Connection, an award-winning literacy tutoring program for kids in San Francisco.
At Beth Israel-Judea, you can make a difference in the temple and its programs, find new friends, nurture your faith, serve the Jewish people and the world around us. Or cheer with our crowd at a baseball game. It's all up to you.
Please join us. You are welcome here.
