Welcome to Congregation Emek Beracha
For over 40 years, Congregation Emek Beracha has welcomed students, business visitors, and tourists to Silicon Valley. Our growing, vibrant Orthodox community of over 135 families creates a warm atmosphere and welcoming environment for people from all backgrounds. Guided by Rabbi Yitzchok Feldman, our Shul is committed to approaching the modern world through the perspective of Halacha, embracing religious Zionism, and growing in Jewish learning and observance.
Back to Shul!
Emek Beracha is proud to announce that it is a recipient of grant funding from the OU's Back to Shul program! A team of volunteers (Michal Weinberger, Yehudis Dukhovny, and Jonathan Gershater) developed a proposal that was selected as a winner among 300 submissions. The funding will be used towards programming in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more info!
Shul Attendance During COVID
Since the COVID pandemic began, Emek Beracha has closely monitored CDC, State, and County guidelines, infection rates, and has engaged a medical committee to advise Rabbi Feldman and the Board on ways to continue services in a risk-reduced manner.
While many restrictions on in-person davening were lifted in June 2021, we ask that every person attending Emek Beracha review and comply with these attendance requirements.
For the most up to date information on davening times, please check the shul's calendar, or email info@emekberacha.org to be added to the minyan-aire Whatsapp group.
