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
