The SFIC reserves the right to reject requests-to-post from organizations and individuals other than the SFIC's San Francisco faith-based constituents and those events whose themes are unrelated to the religious life of our community.

Featured Presenter:

SFIC Welcomes SF Labor Council Director Kim Tavaglione,

Executive Director of the San Francisco Labor Council

Kim Tavaglione is a leader in the labor movement in San Francisco, working to bring economic and social justice to the workplace and ensure all workers are treated with dignity. Kim spent years as a union organizer, representing public, private, and nonprofit workers, before joining the San Francisco Labor Council as its Campaign Director in 2018.

In 2020, Kim moved into the role of Executive Director of the Council, becoming the first woman and first woman of color to lead the Council. In her role as Executive Director, Kim uses her leadership and experience to assist affiliates with strategy development and build worker power through political education and action, economic development in San Francisco, union organizing, community service, and educational programs for the community.

The SFLC is the local body of the AFL-CIO and was chartered in 1893 to be the coordinating regional body for labor cooperation and unity. We are a membership organization serving as a coalition of the Labor Community in San Francisco. Over 150 unions are affiliated with the SFLC, representing more than 100,000 union members and their families.

The mission of the SFLC is to improve the lives of workers, their families, and our community – to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to the nation. We accomplish this mission by working to build worker power through political education and action, economic development in San Francisco, union organizing, a community service and training program, and educational programs for the community.

Guidelines

  • FREE: There is no charge to inter any of these eligible Jewish items with innate holiness to the residential communities of Northern California.
  • DROP-OFF LOCATIONS: Sinai staff will receive sacred items at Colma’s Eternal Home Cemetery, Oakland’s Home of Eternity, and Briones’ Gan Shalom Cemetery. Items may not be dropped off at any of our funeral home mortuary offices or otherwise left unattended as it may compromise the respect that the items needing to be buried deserve.
  • QUARTERLY DROP-OFF: Sinai provides this free service four (4) times per year. Items will not be received or accepted at other times. These are the next scheduled dates for drop-off: Monday, October 27, 2025, Monday, January 26, 2026, and Monday, March 30, 2026.
  • BIODEGRADABLE: Sinai accepts paper in the form of prayer books (bentcher, birchonim, machzorim, siddurim), prayer shawls & phylacteries (talesim and tefillin). Please do not bring any plastic or laminate items.
  • SORT IN ADVANCE: Please sort and place all items into a cardboard box prior to arriving at the cemetery. There is not dignified space for sorting at any of our cemeteries.
  • NO UNNECESSARY ITEMS: Skull Caps (Kippot, kippah, yarmulke or koppel), Jewish newspapers, Hebrew language books, flyers, or secular in purpose items.

 

Please give us a call at any of the cemeteries or be in touch with our Cemetery Superintendent, Kelly Bonillas if you have an urgent need outside of the quarterly schedule so we can try and work with you.
