Congregation B’nai Emunah

If you want a warm, sincere, positive, and family-​oriented place to worship as a Jew, this is the place for you. I have enjoyed my encounters with this particular shul and it’s friendly atmosphere. The people there are unassuming, kind, and are kid friendly. The building itself, has a welcoming energy to it. I recommend this congregation for anybody in San Francisco who wants to have the «neighborhood» feeling of the local congregation. Go there and attend a Friday night service and see for yourself!

Folks, this is the synagogue for you. It might not be the most beautiful synagogue in the city, but you’ll walk out of there feeling good about yourself, about the SF Jewish community and about attending Jewish services. After attending several synagogues where no one even acknowledged me after services, I tried this place out. As soon as I walked in the door, this little woman named Ruth walked right up to me, introduced herself, took my hand and led me into the sanctuary. Fantastic services in Hebrew and English. No one cares about your level of Hebrew or observance. Everyone is chill; it’s all about being and praying together. Great programming, lots of events. Try it — it’s a little gem. At 46^th in Taraval in the Outer Sunset, a block from Ocean Beach.

I just attended the Octopretzel concert with my daughter, and we had a great time. There were over 30 kids, 30 adults and lots of great food and fun. The music was really good, and I would recommend people with kids age 0-~7 look them up and go see them.
We are also members of the congregation and really love it there. My daughter has some great friends that she sees on shabbat services, high holydays and other fun family events. We have 10 new families that have joined this year alone, and lots more really fun kids to enjoy the place.
The members are warm, fun, friendly, and very caring. It feels like a second home to us, and they really work to serve our family, the community and G-​d.
As a conservative shul, they have just the right blend of tradition and modernity, and honor all the essential components of a Jewish life, while still being very fun and friendly.
We are always looking to serve the community and to help Jewish people and families have a place to pray, learn, serve, eat and have fun.
