Buried Treasures Tours

Join historian Judi Leff for an inside look at the buried treasures who reside in our lovely Colma space. Meet famous, infamous, and unknown figures who helped create and craft our thriving Bay Area Jewish and civic landscapes. Rabbi Westreich will be joining us for the spring tour, with Rabbi Jonathan on the summer tour.

 

Say thank you to those who brought us the zoo, Stern Grove, the airport, the aquarium and MOMA. Learn about pioneers who wove gold into the threads of a strong and vibrant community. Hear the stories of those brave folks who left the old to make the new, for themselves and ultimately, for us.

 I understand and agree to abide by all instructions, rules and regulations of the leader designated by the Jewish Cemeteries of San Francisco regarding safety. I understand that no drugs or alcoholic beverages of any type are allowed, and I will be asked to leave if I am suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  In consideration for being allowed to participate, I willingly assume all risks associated with my participation and I grant this release of liability. I understand that my participation on this outing entails a risk of physical injury or death, and that I may be exposed to hazards including, by way of illustration but not limitation: exposure to extreme or inclement weather; risks associated with strenuous activity; and risks associated with road hazards, including but not limited to, moving vehicles.
