You can continue to livestream our Erev Shabbat services each Friday at 6:15 PM on Facebook (as well as on our streaming page). Please be sure to post your comments, share feedback, likes and shares. We'd love to know what you're up to.
Email and Voicemail
With administrative staff working remotely, you can continue to reach us via email and by leaving a voicemail message using the main Beth Am number: (650) 493-4661.
