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. Our journey with Hillel of San Diego began from a deep-seated desire to support students grappling with the challenges posed by campus protests following the events of October 7th. We watched Hillel become a safe haven for Jewish students, as they responded to rising antisemitism with a new initiative that manages incidents and builds coalitions to educate and advocate for Jewish students and faculty. We also applauded their commitment to safety through full-time security at Hillel buildings and events, a costly but essential measure. This refuge is why our commitment has only strengthened. We would be honored to have you stand with us in our support of Hillel of San Diego. Today, we are here because we have been inspired by Bryan and Sheava’s leadership, but our pride extends beyond their individual contributions. It’s about the continuity of this community’s – our community’s – support for Hillel. Whether through cultural events, Israel education, combating antisemitism, or fostering wellness, Hillel’s impact resonates from generation to generation – l’dor v’dor. Together, we ensure that every Jewish student feels seen, supported, and proud to be part of a thriving Jewish community. Warmly, Sharon & David Wax
