Chametz is back and we celebrated accordingly with our Post Pesach Cocktail Party! Eight days down, cocktails UP. 🥂The drinks were flowing (finally!), the room was electric, and the joy of being together after the holiday was something really special. ✨

Thank you to everyone who came out, raised a glass and made this so much more than a party. You showed up for something fun & meaningful - and that's what In Good Company is all about. 💜

Next event is already in the works. Stay close, you won't want to sit this one out!

We are still buzzing from our incredible Shofar Making Experience! 🙌 What an opportunity - walking in curious and walking out holding a ritual shofar they actually MADE with their own hands. Ancient craft, modern community and so much joy and magic in between. 🧡

Thank you to expert Ba'al Tekiah Maurice for leading those who signed up in a truly holy experience. You came, you created and now you've got a shofar to prove it.

More In Good Company magic is on the way. Keep your eyes peeled!

Some nights just stay with you. There's something about fire and community and a sky (almost) full of stars that just hits differently. 🌟🔥

We created together. We sang together. We got a little sticky and we laughed a lot. And somewhere in between the bonfires, the s'mores and the smell of fresh spices, havdalah felt exactly like it's supposed to; a moment of real pause, real warmth and real togetherness. 🧡

Thank you for being there. For making it what it was. This community never misses. 💜 More to come — stay with us. 🌙

Cantor Feldman was a Sherith Israel legend, whose music and spirit touched generations of San Francisco Jews and filled our historic sanctuary for decades. He will be missed. “If I hear or read his name, I hear his voice. He’s that powerful.” ~Kaitlin Wahl
