WORKING AT KEHILLAH

The Kehillah School is an independent community school. We seek to share Jewish values and culture while honoring the identities and backgrounds of all members of our community.

We affirm that our community is enriched and illuminated by a wide variety of traditions. Everyone’s perspectives and contributions to the community are welcomed and valued.
 

JEWISH HOLIDAYS

Kehillah has programming around Jewish holidays, with altered schedules and other special programming.

  • Kehillah observes a number of Jewish holidays, many of which fall in September and October. Several holidays are accompanied by special programming including altered schedules and/or non-working days.
  • For more information on what the Kehillah Calendar looks like, please take a look at Key Dates.
HOUSING & COMMUTING

The Peninsula has a high cost of living. Consider commuting options and housing availability when planning your move.

  • When you have a place as unique as this, it’s no wonder everyone is competing to live here! That reality means the cost of living is high in the Bay Area, particularly in the Peninsula where Kehillah is located. Though farther from the school can offe good alternatives, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the traffic patterns and commute times. While looking for housing in the Bay Area can be a challenge, with perseverance, you can find a great place to live.
  • Bay Area Living: Enjoy sunny weather, natural beauty, and proximity to world-class restaurants, museums, and outdoor activities. The Bay Area is a diverse region with a rich cultural history.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging

At Kehillah, we believe our strength lies in our commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

We embrace diversity in all its forms and are dedicated to fostering equity, inclusion, and belonging. Inspired by Jewish values such as tzedek (justice) and machloket (respectful dialogue), we challenge inequities and work towards a more just world.

Our ongoing and ever-evolving work reflects our commitment to inclusion and social justice, empowering individuals to create positive change in their communities and the world.
 

Through bechirah (agency), we empower students and faculty to advocate for themselves and others, cultivating a compassionate community that fosters critical thinking, curiosity, and empathy.
