YJSA - Young & Jewish San Antonio
Shalom, y'all!
We’re building a community for San Antonio’s young Jews–together. We believe that Judaism and one's relationship with G-d could be dynamic, beautiful, personal and deeply sincere. That Jewish experiences should be relevant, exciting, soulful, and inviting. And that YJSA can be your community, your family and your home.
​
Here’s how we’re making that happen:
A Space for You
YJSA offers an inviting space where young Jews can connect with each other and recharge from the daily grind. As the first permanent Jewish presence downtown in decades, our space is a place for local Jews as well as business travelers to turn to for all their Jewish needs.
Events & Programs
We host young Jews for warm Shabbat dinners, holiday programs, torah classes and social events, all year round. With hundreds of lifelong friendships forged and significant others found, we're proud there's always something for everyone at our events.

Gather & Celebrate
From Mezuzah parties to NYC Shabbatons, engagements, weddings, baby namings and beyond, YJSA offers a warm and supportive community to celebrate life’s Jewish milestones and say L’chaim!
Our Story
San Antonio is experiencing an urban renaissance. Tens of thousands of new jobs are heading to the Alamo City. Thousands of new units are being built in the urban core and around the city. Since 2011, YJSA has been orchestrating a renaissance of the spirit. We are building a warm, welcoming community where young Jews in their 20s and 30s come to feel at home, explore and celebrate their Judaism, study and connect, regardless of affiliation or level of observance. Join us as we endeavor to inspire one Jew at a time to live their Judaism with passion and purpose.
