Tri-Valley Cultural Jews Announces 2026-2027 Jewish Culture School Theme: Jewish History Through Science

Tri-Valley Cultural Jews is excited to announce the 2026-2027 year of Jewish Culture School, a unique educational program that explores Jewish history through the lens of culture, ideas, and human achievement.

This year, students will discover the stories of Jewish scientists, astronomers, physicians, environmentalists, and innovators from biblical times to the present day. Rather than approaching Jewish history as a series of tragedies or solely through a religious framework, Jewish Culture School examines Judaism as an evolving culture shaped by the people who have contributed to it across centuries and continents.

Along the way, students will learn about the lives of Jews in the diverse times and places where these scientists lived, gaining insight into Jewish communities around the world while exploring the scientific discoveries and ideas that helped shape our understanding of the world. Of course, there will be opportunities for hands-on science activities as well!

Jewish Culture School is open to children from age six through fourteen years and culminates in a Secular Brit Mitzvah ceremony. In addition to history, students explore Jewish music, dance, foodways, literature, ethics, and social justice in a welcoming Humanistic Jewish environment.

Tri-Valley Cultural Jews welcomes families of all backgrounds and configurations who are seeking a HJewish community centered on culture, history, family, and shared values rather than religious observance. Membership in Tri-Valley Cultural Jews is required to participate.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

Life insurance with Living Benefits, Fixed Indexed Annuities

Right Time Financial

I specialize in working with individuals, families and businesses to set future goals and put retirement solutions in place. I have products that offer living benefits (the new life insurance) which gives my clients access to their death benefit without dying. People are living longer and surviving critical illnesses at a much higher rate these days. This allows them to outlive their retirement funds. Also, fixed indexed annuities that you can roll your 401k into and not have to worry about stock market losses. Ask about our products for youth that have tax free benefits that are less restrictive than the 529 plan. My services are free and I encourage any questions you may have.
