About us
**** Note: You need to be Jewish to attend our events ****
The Havurah is a warm environment open to Jewish singles in the Bay Area to make friends and connections. We're an active, fun group of people, in our 40's to 60's, who are looking to meet other great Jewish singles and enjoy events together.
A group started by and intended for single Jewish men and women living in the Greater Bay Area and San Jose to share in Jewish cultural events, Jewish holidays, and meet for various fun activities. For ages 35 - 65.
We hold a variety of events that enable members to mingle and meet – from hiking, happy hours, and going to Jewish cultural events to Shabbat potluck dinners, Sunday brunches, and movie nights. If you have an idea for an event anywhere in the Bay Area that you would like to organize, please let the leadership team know and we can discuss co-hosting it.
Friends, the Havurah asks two things of new members.
- The events of the Bay Area Jewish Singles Havurah are for Jewish singles only. This is one of the few venues for us to meet each other. Come join us and meet other Jewish singles from around the Bay Area! We're looking forward to meeting you.
- Please make sure that your Meetup profile name includes your first name, not just an initial, and a picture (not a cartoon). This will help other members greet you at events and is for overall group safety.

Anat, a single mother and enthusiastic teacher of literature at a primary school, can't wait for her son to be discharged from the army. But right on the day of his planned return, war breaks out on the border with Lebanon.
The condition of her traumatized father worsens, and from her son comes the news that all discharges have been suspended. Anat sets heaven and earth in motion to get her son home — but when he does return briefly, their close relationship is put under enormous pressure.
