A grassroots initiative for celebrating Jewish togetherness in the Temecula Valley.
In 2022, various families came together with the same goal, to make the Temecula Valley and surrounding areas more inclusive for those who wanted to connect to Judaism. They discovered there was a need to create a space where Jews, regardless of their affiliations or family structure, could gather with other like-minded individuals and create new relationships.
