Our beautiful Beth Am Outdoor Chapel and Memorial Wall offer a place of worship, contemplation, celebration, mourning and memory, an inspiring place that has become dear to the hearts of many.

We gather (in person and virtually) as part of our Shabbat Shuvah service, on Friday, October 4, to dedicate the memorial plaques that have been added to the Memorial Wall. We will read the names of all of those who have been memorialized during the past year. During our Shabbat Shuvah service, we will also hear from Rabbi Amy Eilberg and Prof. Louis Newman who will speak about their recent New Israel Fund study tour to Israel.

Please note that the deadline to have a plaque ordered and installed in time for Shabbat Shuvah has already passed (it was Wednesday, August 21). Though the order deadline has passed, you may still order the plaque and have it installed later this fall. To place a request for a yahrzeit plaque to arrive after the High Holy Day season (should you wish to memorialize loved ones for whom plaques have not already been ordered), please download, complete and return the Yahrzeit Plaque Request Form. Should you need assistance in completing the form, please contact Emily Osterman, (650) 493-4661.

Wishing you and your loved ones a sweet and Happy New Year.
