With 900 members, and thousands of participants in our dynamic programs, classes and social justice work, we work at the cutting edge of racial and economic justice in the Bay Area and beyond. At Kehilla we’re cocreating a loving community that reaches for joy, shared liberation and justice, rooted in Jewish spiritual teachings & practice, and sustained by interdependence and mutual care, on the Lisjan Ohlone territory of Huchiun Rabbi Burt Jacobsen, our founder, recognized that tikkun olam (healing the world) also requires creating and sustaining community. Kehilla is a community of participation, of creating together the community and the world we want. Kehilla has many leaders, many teachers, and many learners.
