Come by after work and unwind with a signature cocktail (Manischewitz shooters anyone)?, listen to music, kvetch with friends, and experience some art – all in one of San Francisco’s most stylish, new architectural wonders.

Hang out in the Museum’s Jews on Vinyl listening lounge, a 50’s-style, suburban living room where you can listen to the once loved, now forgotten audio gems of Jewish-American music history, or check out the exciting exhibition-- and the West Coast’s only showing of Chagall and the Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949.

Each month we will have a new line up of entertainment and public programs from lectures to stand-up comedy.

July 2 featuring DJ Juan Telepatico of Club Unicorno, He’Brew Beer, Manischewitz Shooters, Wine + Bar Bites.


Special Program at 7:00 PM: Art and German-Jewish Relations in the 21st Century
German-Jewish history in recent decades is a surprising story of political cooperation and artistic creativity. German Consul General Rolf Schuette will join Israeli Consul General Akiva Tor and Rabbi Stephen Pearce of Temple Emanu-El in a wide-ranging conversation about the German-Jewish relationship in the twenty-first century.
