Congregation Rodef Sholom (transliterated from Hebrew as "Pursuers of peace"[1]) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on the Lonee C. Hoytt Jewish Campus, at 170 North San Pedro, in San Rafael, Marin County, California, in the United States.[2]
The congregation was founded in 1956 and Shabbat services were held at the Marin Jewish Community Center, established in 1946 at Mission and Forbes Street,[3] until 1962 when it moved to its current location.[4] The congregation shares a campus with the Osher Marin JCC and the Brandeis Hillel Day School. Rodef Sholom has been affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism since 1957.
