The South Bay Tikkun Circle brings together individuals in the South Bay area for monthly gatherings centered on Jewish values, compassionate living, and shared community building.

The Circle was created to offer a welcoming, grounded space where people can:

• Share vegan meals in community
• Explore Jewish teachings and ethical living
• Build meaningful local relationships
• Engage in conversations about compassion, justice, and responsibility
• Participate in a growing movement rooted in tikkun olam

Each gathering is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and rooted in shared values.

Monthly Gatherings

The South Bay Circle meets monthly for community potlucks and facilitated conversations.

A typical gathering includes:

• Welcome and intention setting
• Short reflection or learning inspired by Jewish wisdom
• Group discussion or guided dialogue
• Shared vegan potluck meal
• Closing reflection and community connection

Each month may also include seasonal or holiday themes, guest facilitators, or special topics.

Why This Circle Matters

The South Bay Tikkun Circle is more than a local gathering. It is the beginning of a broader effort to build community-based spaces where people can:

• Live their values in real time
• Strengthen local relationships
• Connect Jewish tradition with modern ethical challenges
• Build a culture of compassion and responsibility

Monthly South Bay Tikkun Circle gatherings are open to everyone. There is no membership requirement to attend.
