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.
Amplify Your Impact

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

Not Our Grandparents’ Hillel

December 17, 2025

When we were children, our grandparents posed a simple but enduring question: If the Jewish people don’t take care of the Jewish people, who will? That question inspired our parents to lead and to give, and today, as third-generation Hillel supporters, it sits squarely before us.

A Proud Night for Hillel of San Diego

December 16, 2025

Hillel of San Diego and its CEO, Karen Parry, were honored with multiple excellence awards at Hillel International’s 2025 Global Assembly (HIGA) in Boston this week, earning recognition among a global network of 850 Hillels. The awards were presented by Hillel International, the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, during its annual conference which brought together more than 1,200 campus leaders, supporters, and sponsors from around the world to celebrate leadership, innovation, and commitment to Jewish life.

We’re standing with Bryan, Sheava, and Hillel

December 10, 2025

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.
