The Jewish presence in Alameda for over 100 years–a progressive Reform congregation for all ages.  Small congregation on the east end of Alameda is lively and engaging, with a religious school starting at pre-K.  Shabbat services on Friday night in person and on Zoom at 7:30, the first Friday of the month is 6:30pm. Monthly Saturday morning Tot Shabbat service for families with children under 6 years old is free and open to non-members.
