All Shuk Up!

shuk2

Last night was our Annual Jewish Night Market, or Shuk, and we served nearly a thousand students– many who were not Jewish. We had over 20 booths featuring Jewish food from around the world. Each Booth also had content about that Jewish community and its connection to Israel. This program is one of our strongest outreach efforts as it invites others to learn and appreciate the richness of the Jewish experience while empowering Jewish student leadership and Jewish pride. 

I can explain more but a picture is worth a thousand words so check out some of last night:

Thank you for being a part of Peace in Israel Week. This work is only possible because community members like you invest in Hillel. 

Now, onto our Israel Week Shabbat and some rest! 

Shabbat Shalom, 

Karen

I want to share a quick update on the incident that happened at Hillel of San Diego last week. But, before that, I want to thank you for showing up for us during this time. I received so many messages of concern and support. It meant the world to me, our team, and our students to know that the community was standing in solidarity with us.

Hope you are having a great start to your 2026. At Hillel of San Diego, our highest priority is, and will always be, the safety of Jewish students.

Over the past few months, an individual repeatedly harassed Hillel San Diego, prompting us to obtain a restraining order. Today, that individual attempted to break into our Melvin Garb Hillel Center and left an unidentified package.

You Made it Possible. Now We Must Sustain it.

Over the past five years, and especially since October 7th, this community has shown up in extraordinary ways. Your leadership made it possible for Hillel of San Diego to respond immediately and decisively in moments of crisis, expanding support, strengthening safety, and meeting students in their most vulnerable moments. Thank G-d you did. Because of you, students know exactly where to turn — and they know they will not be turned away.
