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.

Today – Giving Tuesday – your gift has the power to go twice as far. A generous donor will match $25,000 in gifts (and we still have $8,000 left to reach that goal). Your support today will act as a force multiplier to help Hillel of San Diego expand our impact across campuses, amplify student-led leadership initiatives and deepen wellness support.

Hillel of San Diego’s role in our community goes way beyond a campus organization – it’s a whole-of-community bridge for Jewish continuity. Hillel is a place where students explore their Jewish identity, form lasting connections and develop the leadership skills that will serve them – and our community – for generations to come. In supporting Jewish students, you make a powerful statement that our community will stand strong against the rising challenges on campus, including antisemitism – and we do it together.

Today, your support will go twice as far. Please help us support our brave students and invest in the Jewish community they will help build and strengthen for years to come.

With appreciation,

Mitch Siegler
Board Chair

With Passover now in our rearview mirror, and we look ahead toward Shavuot, we reflect on where we come from and where we are going. This practice happens a lot at Hillel of San Diego. Similar to a start-up, we are ever evolving to meet the needs of our students right now.

A couple of weeks ago, we put out a statement after swastika graffiti was found on campus at UC San Diego. And once again, late last week, more vile graffiti was discovered in a different location.

A few weeks ago, a student leader, Osher, came bopping into the office with a bold idea. What if we hosted a Shabbat dance party and got everyone from all the campuses to come together?
