Hinda Langer, Director, began Shalom School with Rabbi Yosef Langer, Director of Chabad of SF in 1997.  They had the vision of young children growing, learning and loving their Jewish heritage through a warm preschool experience.

“Twenty years later, we have a wonderful staff, great families and loyal supporters.  We’ve had over a thousand children come through our doors.  It’s a privilege to partner with young SF families in sharing their children’s lives and growth.  From our toddlers to Pre K –  it’s a daily journey of smiles from our young budding artists, musicians, storytellers, book authors and weekly Shabbat celebrators!”

“The children teach and guide us with their interests – in trips to Golden Gate Park down the block or in our classroom experiments with baking soda volcanoes!  I’m inspired every day to share our school with each incoming family.”

“Since 1975, I’ve been involved in all phases of Jewish Education for both adults and children in the Bay Area: Women’s Jewish study classes, Chabad Shabbos and holiday programs, family week-end retreats in Tahoe and Sonoma, family Chavura groups in the Bay Area and Beth Meir Preschool; Elementary School in the East Bay in the 80’s.
