It has been a joy to be involved with Hillel of San Diego since my own kids went off to college on the East Coast 14 years ago.

Our Hillel is a welcoming, vibrant home for San Diego’s college students, making our huge campuses feel like small, close-knit communities. I’ve loved watching our Hillel students create and experience the joy of Jewish life, pursue social justice inspired by Jewish values, form lasting friendships, and connect with Israel.

I’m proud to support Hillel again this year, my first year off the board of directors. I’m grateful to join our current and past board presidents (Mitch Siegler, Wayne Harris, Todd Kirschen, Joel Smith, David Michan, Hollie Bierman, Michael Breslauer, Bob Lapidus, Herb Solomon, Jane Scher, Steve Solomon, and Judy Gumbiner) in challenging our community to dig deeper and elevate your giving to Hillel of San Diego to match our increased annual gifts and raise $175,000 by midnight, December 31st!

I’m confident Hillel is in the exceptional hands of our outstanding, creative, and engaged staff team led by Executive Director Karen Parry and an excellent board led by Mitch Siegler.

Please join me in supporting Hillel of San Diego by December 31st.

With Gratitude,
Emily

Right before the Israelites enter into the promised land, Moses recounts their journey from Mitzrayim (Egypt), through 40 years of wandering and struggle, to get them to that very moment. Moses himself cannot enter the land but that it is up to future generations to care for it and work for it, and he gives them his blessing.

After Hillel, Where Do Students Go?

We want students to leave our doors more equipped to connect to the next stage of their Jewish journey. That may be at a synagogue or going off to serve as leaders at Federation, the JCC, or ADL. We envision they will build donor advised funds with JCF, and volunteer at JFS…. simply to be connected to meaningful Jewish life through any and all organizations that help them continue to nurture their own Jewish identities.
