By Karen Parry / June 14, 2022

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

Other Stories From Hillel

Heart of Hillel: Meet Kira

November 21, 2025

Kira’s Hillel story began as an undergraduate at USD, where she was one of only four Jewish students on campus. For Kira, there were no Shabbat dinners. No immersive Jewish learning. No visible Jewish community.

Heart of Hillel: Meet Sonia

November 14, 2025

Sonia is a retired UCSD faculty member and a proud parent of Triton and Torero alumni. She didn’t have Hillel when she was in college, but she made sure her children did. And once she saw the impact Hillel had on them, she jumped in with both feet, eventually joining the Hillel of San Diego Board of Directors.

Heart of Hillel: Brad & Karen

November 6, 2025

Brad and Karen’s story is one of legacy, family, and deep belief in the power of Jewish community.
