SF Hillel's High Holiday Events

​Erev Rosh Hashanah Celebration - Monday, September 6th at SF Hillel
  • This celebration will include diner, reflections, fun conversations, and a sweet start to the new year.
​
​Ctrl + Alt + Del Tashlique - Tuesday, September 7th from 5 PM - 7 PM at Ocean Beach
  • We'll join members of the San Francisco community for a tashlique ceremony at Ocean Beach. Then, if you'd like, join your friends from SF Hillel for dinner in the park.

Yom Kippur Bike Ride - Sunday, September 12
  • Yom Kippur is a solemn holiday in which Jews repent for their sins from the previous year. Interestingly enough, American Jews, even those who do not observe most holidays, will fast for Yom Kippur. Why is that? Even more interesting is how they celebrate Yom Kippur in Israel-by having a biking festival! SF Hillel will be honoring this tradition by providing bikes (for anyone who needs one) for students to enjoy a lovely Sunday ride in Golden Gate Park. We will stop for a picnic in the park, with food provided by Sunrise Deli. 

Kol Nidre Intention Setting - Wednesday, September 15th at 5 PM over Zoom
  • Join us for an intentional start to Yom Kippur. We'll gather over Zoom for meaningful conversation and reactions and to set intentions for our Yom Kippur experience. Whether you're fasting from food, technology, or gossip, or looking to learn more about the Day of Repentance, we hope you'll join us.

Break the Fast Across the City - Thursday, September 16th, time and location TBA
  • Join your SF Hillel community across the city to break the fast. More details coming soon!
