Coastside Jewish Community

Providing an inclusive community that supports connection to Jewish life, both cultural and spiritual, on the coast from Pacifica to Pescadero.

Family Circle

We have completely revamped our Family Circle program from what it’s been in previous years. We now have a well-rounded curriculum through Shalom Learning which includes Hebrew language, Jewish values, holidays, and more. And we have engaged a local musician/educator from Tkiya, who specializes in creating joyful Jewish connections thru participatory music experiences.

We also heard the many requests for a more northern location, so most of our sessions this year will be in Montara and Pacifica!!

There will be a FREE TRIAL session at our new location in Montara on Sunday, August 18. It will be a great opportunity to check out the program and see if it’s right for your kids or grandkids.

Book Club

Coastside Jewish Community Book Club meets approximately once every two months at members’ homes.

Most importantly, we get together to enjoy each others’ company. Participants must be members of Coastside Jewish Community.
