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 AdriLucy BeckettAli 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.

Other Stories From Hillel

This one is worth opening – I promise!

I know you’ve likely gotten a ton of emails today, but I had to send one on behalf of Hillel of San Diego! This is Noa (SDSU, Class of ‘28), and we’re down to the wire on Giving Tuesday. The $25,000 donor match is about to disappear, and we hope donors like you are racing to grab the final funds! We’re SO close to hitting our goal.

It’s Waylon – We need to talk

December 2, 2025

I wanted to reach out today, on Giving Tuesday, to share my story with you. Last fall, I arrived at UCSD knowing literally no one. Finding my community at Hillel of San Diego not only changed my college experience, it changed my life. Thanks to your past generosity, I found a place where I could be unapologetically Jewish, make friends at Shabbat, and step up as a leader.

Your support will have double the impact!

Hillel of San Diego isn’t just growing – we’re doubling down on what matters most: building a thriving, resilient Jewish community for students at SDSU, UCSD, USD, and CSUSM. From leadership development programs to community-builders like Shabbat tables, Torah study and Israel Week to mental health support services, Hillel serves as a gathering place, oasis and second home for students seeking connection and meaning.
