Mt Umunhum (Sierra Azul open space preserve) is a sacred space for the Amah MutsuSaturdayn tribe of the Ohlon, and is one of the most historic sacred spaces in the Bay Area. We are meeting at the Ceremonial Space on the summit of the mountain.
-
People can either join us at the summit, or if they want to hike: Meet at 8am at the Bald Mountain parking lot and join TEE on a 3.7 mile, 1150 ft climb hike to the Umunhum Summit
- At the summit, 53 general parking spots are available (with about 100 stairs to climb after parking). There is very limited accessible parking closer to the summit, and a drop-off area. There is no entrance or parking fee.
- Dogs not allowed in the preserve (sorry)
- Bring water and a vegetarian snack for yourself
- Please either be vaccinated or wear a mask (or both)
- Clergy-led service

Sunday, July 11th // 5:00pm
Love reading? Join us for Sefer Club. Each month we will be reading a Jewish book and discussing it as a group.
This month, the book is "The Golem And the Jinni". Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic, created to be the wife of a man who dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899.
