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

Let’s be real, we live where people vacation. San Diego is the best city in the world, and we all know it. And word has gotten out. San Diego is attracting the next generation of Jewish adults.

Ok, so that was pretty perfect.

Full disclosure, we were very nervous about hosting our first fundraiser in 10 years. This evening represented more than a fun party. It was a chance to highlight our intentional design around user experience that cultivates meaningful connections and belonging – basically the work we do every day for our students.

We could have broken. Instead, we were forged.

Just like 9/11, I will forever remember where I was and what I was doing on 10/7. I think that is how it will be for a lot of us.
