Congregation Emanu-El (San Francisco)

During the Gold Rush in 1849, a small group of Jews held the first High Holy Days services in a tent in San Francisco; it was the first Jewish service on the West Coast of the United States. She served as a cantor there until 1893. The synagogue was rebuilt on its current site and dedicated over three days, April 16, 17, and 18 in 1926. In 2025, a $97 million renovation project was completed. ==Clergy==
