Who Is Young(ish)?

All are welcome! Young(ish) at Congregation Beth Sholom is a group of adults in their 20s to early 40s who meet 1-2 times a month around programming tailored to catalyze social relationships, strengthen Jewish identities, and build community. We are not defined by age, rather stage. We are young, Jewish professionals who are defined by a desire to be, schmooze, learn, drink, eat, and be together.

Young(ish) events include opportunities to spend time with other Bay Area Jews in meaningful ways. Examples include monthly Happy Hours, holiday events, Shabbat dinners, yoga, and book clubs. Young(ish) is inclusive and vibrant. Members are encouraged to be themselves while deepening their connection to Judaism.

This is a discounted monthly membership plan for individuals or couples that is meant to give a cost-effective way to get to know our congregation, our clergy, our programming, and most importantly each other. If you are a family with young children, your participation in our Young(ish) events is welcomed and encouraged, though this discounted membership is reserved for individuals and couples without children.

We’re committed to serving the needs of this community and making YOU a vital part of our inter-generational congregation! Please feel free to spread the word about us and connect with us on Instagram @youngishbethsholom

For more information and how to join, please get in touch.

 Young(ish) Shabbat Dinners

Join Young(ish) for a traditional, egalitarian Shabbat dinner on the Third Friday of each month at Congregation Beth Sholom. We’ll eat, sing, talk, bless and celebrate! Both Young(ish) members and new friends alike in the mid-20s to 40-ish range are welcome and encouraged to attend. If you're a seasoned Shabbat pro, great! If not, even better - all are welcome.

For more information, please email thirdfridays@bethsholomsf.org. Connect with us on IG @cbs_youngish.

We look forward to seeing you!

Join Young(ish) for our monthly Happy Hour. Happy Hour will take place at the synagogue or local bars in San Francisco once a month on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30pm. Feel free to join for the whole time or just drop in!

These casual gatherings will build our community, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities to network and have fun. We hope you will join us!
