How to Get Involved

• Cultivate a community where people feel welcome and included, where differences are honored as an essential component of a learning community, and where our diversities—of socio-economic background and status, gender identity, family structure, sexual orientation, religion, race, ethnicity, and more—are secured, celebrated, and supported.

• Embrace opportunities for sustained conversations about important and challenging topics regarding contemporary Jewish life and practice.

• Strengthen our connections to our city and the broader community of the Bay Area, through service learning and social action for all constituencies.

• Chavurah (Gatherings) - Grade-level small-group gatherings facilitated by room parents.
• Chugim (Clubs) - Community-led clubs for fun, learning, and service.
• Jewish Life & Learning -  Connecting holidays to home; weekly minyan prayer service and text study opportunities.
• Parent Education - Guest speakers and gatherings to support parents.
• Chesed (Kindness) - The Chesed Committee works with the Head of School and the Parent Association co-chair(s) to offer a helping hand to individuals and families in need. By intentionally engaging in acts of loving kindness (gemilut chasidim), the Chesed Committee seeks to nurture a compassionate, responsive and supportive school community.
  • If you are in need of support or want to be a source of support you can reach the committee at chesed@sfbrandeis.org.
