  The Bonfire of Reflection

We look forward to you joining us at 6:30 p.m. in San Francisco on Saturday, September 19, 2026!

The Bonfire of Reflection is proudly co-sponsored by Congregation Am Tikvah The fall brings change to the world. Leaves turn, days are shorter, the Jewish High Holy Days, and Celtic New Year, are near, the world becomes introspective. We will have our own evening of Reflection around the Bonfire. We will share our stories of change and miracles; sing of seasons, remembering and change; and meditate on our place in the world. We will share our voices, or just listen, around the Bonfire into the evening, as we watch the flames dance! We look forward to your joining us for a reflective and meaningful evening. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= We will have a Jewish Havdalah ritual after sunset. The ritual lasts about fifteen minutes. As not all the guests at Yeashore's events are Jewish, we explain it and invite everyone to join in.
