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.

A Proud Night for Hillel of San Diego

December 16, 2025

Hillel of San Diego and its CEO, Karen Parry, were honored with multiple excellence awards at Hillel International’s 2025 Global Assembly (HIGA) in Boston this week, earning recognition among a global network of 850 Hillels. The awards were presented by Hillel International, the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, during its annual conference which brought together more than 1,200 campus leaders, supporters, and sponsors from around the world to celebrate leadership, innovation, and commitment to Jewish life.

We’re standing with Bryan, Sheava, and Hillel

December 10, 2025

On Monday, you heard from our son Bryan and his wife Sheava about why they support Hillel of San Diego and why they are committed to helping raise $500,000 for Jewish college students by December 31, the first $50,000 of which will be matched, dollar-for-dollar. Their message of why this moment matters and why supporting our young adults is so urgent reminded us of the responsibility we all share to lift up this next generation. That is why we are joining them in this effort.

What Could Go Right?

December 8, 2025

As we help kick off Hillel of San Diego’s year-end fundraiser, I can’t help but reflect on the moment that first made me and Sheava believe in this important work. It was the day the Glickman Hillel Center at UCSD opened its doors after twenty years of persistence. I saw what it means for Jewish young adults to have a place they can count on, and what a community can accomplish together. That is why Sheava and I became supporters, and why we remain committed as Hillel of San Diego has grown into one of the most impactful Hillels in the country.
