I-SRV: Interfaith - San Ramon Valley
We are a community group of diverse faith congregations from across
the valley who are committed to learning, sharing, listening, and acting together
Thanks to all who joined us at the Annual Thanksgiving Eve Service! It was a delightful celebration hosted by Beth Chaim. The evening featured original music by Allan Ajaya Davidson and Michaelle Goerlitz and hymns shared by the Choi Family Trio. Mayor Arnerich spoke about the necessity of our working together. Muslim and Jewish chants engaged us in singing from the heart. Children's Time bound us together in the unity we long for. Hope Solutions made clear there is hope for the unsheltered. We agreed we are all hungry for more, for more occasions of celebration together.
We Choose Love!
In February 2022, I-SRV hosted the We Choose Love March and Rally. We gathered in downtown Danville and walked the Ironhorse trail together. On the lawn in front of the library, faith and city leaders affirmed our valley's commitment in supporting our Jewish neighbors and standing up against antisemitism. To learn more, read our Proclamation and an article from J., the Jewish News of Northern California.
