What it is

Mahjong Social Play at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco is a first-party open social-play American Mah Jongg program on the JCCSF events calendar. Evening sessions welcome all levels for practice and connection; the page also points beginners to a separate beginner class series. It is a metro JCC program page — not an equipment shop and not a digital multiplayer server.

Who it’s for

San Francisco / Bay Area players who want a citeable .org calendar night for American Mah Jongg social play (including returning players and first-timers), rather than a Facebook-only meetup or a JCC city already covered on disk.

Why it’s listed

Plaza needs a real metro open-play listing for a city not already covered by the on-disk JCC / club set (San Francisco JCCSF is unused; not Rochester, Boston, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, East Bay, Charlotte, Tampa, Nashville, Dallas, Cincinnati, Beachwood, Portland Mittleman, Philly Mah-Jawn, Clover STL, Minneapolis, Phoenix, San Diego, KC Riichi, Charleston, etc.).

• Schedule printed on-page for social play: Thursday, September 24, 2026, 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM; recurring listing also names Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 6:30 PM. Location labeled JCCSF.
• Price stamps on the same page: page header range $36 – $150; social play sessions specifically $36. Copy: “All sets and cards provided” for the beginner class series; “All are welcome” for social play.
• Instructor / partner note on-page: sessions are run with Mahj Social Club SF (San Francisco / Bay Area American Mah Jongg community) by Alice Meyers and Kara Yugoff — beginner lessons, coached play, social events, and tournaments.
• Facility identity on the page footer: 3200 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94118, phone 415.292.1200.

Notes

• Local groups / open social play (American Mah Jongg). Beginner class series is mentioned on the same page but the primary listing identity here is the social-play calendar nights.
• First-party JCCSF .org event page — not Facebook-only, not a scrape directory.
• Distinct from Austin’s Mahj Social Club (mahjsocialclub.fun); this page names Mahj Social Club SF instructors Alice Meyers and Kara Yugoff.
• Not affiliated with Mahjong Plaza.
