Friday Night Shabbat Services & Potlucks

Celebrate Shabbat with music, joy, and community—wherever we are.

Upcoming Dates & Locations

June 6
We're trying something new! Join us for a potluck picnic from 5:30–6:45 pm at Holly Park (Picnic Area at Holly Park Cir & Highland Ave), followed by musical services in the round at our home at 331 Cortland beginning at 6:45 pm.

♿ Access Information: The Holly Park Picnic Area can be accessed by a ramp from Highland Avenue, but please note the incline is steep. After dinner, it’s a short walk to 331 Cortland—0.2 miles via stairs on Bocana or 0.3 miles via a gentler ramp path along Highland. Entry to 331 Cortland is step-free.

⚠️ Food Disclaimer: To ensure inclusivity and accommodate dietary needs, all potluck dishes must be accompanied by a full list of ingredients.

We'll gather in a special San Francisco LGBTQIA+ location. More details coming soon!
