Adults
We provide educational classes, as well as community building events, like our Hike with Community, 4th Friday Services and Dinner, 2nd Saturday Services and Kiddush Lunch. We also offer Holiday parties for each holiday. We hope that you will join us as we build our community.
Supporting the Jewish Family
There is no doubt that the most important ingredient to ensure Jewish continuity is that the children be educated to be proud of their Judaism. To that goal we have designed an innovative after-school program called Shabbat Club. We also have a mini chefs division that runs out of Grattan. We have several programs which support children and the family as a whole: Oneg Shabbat, Havdallah Events and parties for all the Jewish holidays. We beleive that teaching children to "give back" to the community is important and have regular volunteer opportunities for kids and families.
Helping Seniors
Chabad of Cole Valley has been filling an important role: giving Jewish seniors living in non-Jewish facilities the chance to connect to Jewish traditions. We have close to 90 seniors that participate in our regular events: Shabbat programs, enrichment workshops and Holiday parites at respective Senior care faciliites. We also distribute holiday food packages and have community wide Shabbat dinners where seniors from different facilities meet at one location to celebrate their Judaism.
Outreach
Each year Chabad of Cole Valley hosts a booth at the Cole Valley Street Fair
It gives us a chance to connect with the community - and we hope that you will come by to say hi!
Social Services
Though we hope that nobody should be needing this service, we have committed ourselves to making sure that every Jewish inmate can access their Jewish roots and heritage. Rabbi Nosson currently visits the SF County Jail regularly to provide spiritual counseling and support for those that request it.
