Mazel Tov to Todd Kirschen for an incredible term as Board President! Welcome to our new board members, led by newly elected Board President, Wayne Harris, and a hearty todah rabah to our 2022 Board of Directors.

Hillel students are incredible and we loved celebrating the student leadership of Tali Adri, Lucy Beckett, Ali Bell, and Micah Schoenwald. We also honored Lisa Motenko, our Associate Executive Director, as the inaugural Michael Jeser Outstanding Jewish Professional Award recipient from the Jewish Federation of San Diego County.

We are honored to announce that Kira Finkenberg, Sacha Litman, Ofek Suchard, and Russell Silberstein, have been elected to Hillel of San Diego’s 2023 Board of Directors. Each of them brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to supporting Jewish continuity. We are inspired by their excitement and willingness to serve.

Check out the 2022 Annual Meeting program here and, you can watch the event here!

Thank you for being a part of our Hillel of San Diego community

User experience is everything. Let me walk you through what we do – you’re an insider, so I’m pulling back the curtain so you can see the method and intentionality behind the magic.
