On Sunday, September 27 at 10:30am in Livermore, we’ll build and decorate our community sukkah, enjoy a potluck brunch, and spend a relaxed morning together with friends–old and new.

Never built a sukkah before? Perfect! No experience or prior knowledge is needed. Just bring yourself, and, if you’d like, a leafy branch or fruit to help decorate the sukkah.

Sukkos is a celebration of the harvest, community, and shelter. There’s something pretty special about celebrating by building something together.

Free for TVCJ members. Suggested donation: $15 per non-member adult, if you’re able. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to donate.

We’d love to have you join us!

If you’ve been looking for a way to mark Yom Kippur that feels thoughtful, welcoming, and connected to Jewish culture and tradition, we invite you to join us.

On Sunday, September 20 at 5:30PM in Livermore, we’re gathering for a warm and reflective Kol Nidre observance.

Through music, English readings, and shared reflection, we’ll explore the themes of Yom Kippur from a Secular Humanistic Jewish perspective–making space to think about the year behind us, the year ahead, and what matters to us.

You don’t need to be a member. You don’t need a religious background or prior knowledge. And you don’t have to have Yom Kippur all figured out.

Maybe you connect to Judaism through family, culture, heritage, tradition, or simply through a desire to be with other Jewish people. However you arrive, there’s a place for you here.

Come as you are. Join us for an evening of music, reflection, connection, and community.
