Because you are an incredibly generous supporter of Hillel of San Diego, we wanted to share with you our Presidents’ Challenge communications, so you can see how your investment in Hillel leadership makes a difference. Thank you for your continued generosity. We are proud to partner with you in supporting Jewish students at such a critical time.
Yesterday, we launched our Jewish Networking Hub, which links current Hillel students with Jewish alumni looking to mentor and support the careers of our future leaders.
Now, more than ever, it is critical to prioritize safety and security because that investment matters. It makes a difference, just like it did last Thursday.
A new campaign to “Drop Hillel” has been launched with the goal of kicking Hillel off college campuses. According to the Jerusalem Post, The group is linked to National SJP and “calls itself a ‘Jewish-led campaign… advocating for divestment from Hillel’ that wishes to ‘weaken Hillel’s grip on Jewish campus life’.”
Yesterday was October 7th-
Yesterday Hillel of San Diego supported on-campus vigils and education programs at each of our four campuses- SDSU, UCSD, CSUSM, and USD. We then paid for buses to take students to the incredible Community Vigil at the JCC.
Everything is different. Everything is the same. As we enter a holiday that reminds us to look to Jerusalem, welcome the stranger, and remember our heritage, one can’t help but think how this year feels different, especially on campus. Yet Hillel of San Diego is a constant—deeply committed to supporting Jewish life for our collective future. And so, I invite us to think about a new set of four questions for our Hillel Passover this year.
