Cultural Vibrancy
SF Jewish Week shines a light on the cultural vibrancy that defines Jewish San Francisco — from live performances, to chefs and restaurants, entrepreneurs and banya.It’s a time to savor traditional flavors, discover diverse community, and engage in activities around Jewish identity in a modern, multicultural world.
Jewish Life & Education
At the heart of the celebration is the recognition of Jewish life in all its forms: family, education, worship, diversity, community, and tikkun olam — the call to repair the world and do something to benefit others without looking for anything in return.SF Jewish Week is presented by Value Culture, a California Non Profit Organization with a mission to produce and support artistic, educational, charitable, and spiritual events to inspire individuals to give back to their communities. Value Culture removes barriers to arts, culture, and philanthropy.
All Are Welcome!
Join us for a week filled with cultural exploration, heartfelt connection, community celebration and fun!
