When I was approached a few years ago about committing Hillel into a legacy plan - my initial reaction was, wow a legacy plan.... being in my mid-20's at the time, I had never given anything of the sort any meaningful thought. But, it was explained to me the impact it would have on Hillel not only today but also in the future - and immediately my answer was an enthusiastic YES. The reason I am passionate about the concept of a legacy plan, is because aside from hard dollars going to Hillel, it reinforces in each person's mind the idea that Hillel is here today and will be here for each generation to follow in the future. I highly encourage anyone, no matter their age, or distance between them and the later decades of their life, to make the commitment today to help Hillel and those it serves for generations to come.

Youth are the future of Judaism and of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship. An investment in Hillel of San Diego promotes that and fosters Jewish continuity.

Marie and I support Hillel in our legacy plans in order to continue our tradition of education and to ensure that Jewish students have the benefit of community to foster an enduring commitment to Jewish life.

We both grew Jewishly through Hillel while at college. We want to fulfill our obligation and ensure the next generation of college students has the opportunity to explore their Judaism, connect to Israel, and make lifelong friends.

Through its presence and engagement on college campuses in San Diego, Hillel of San Diego is the place where Jewish college students of all backgrounds come together and meet, thrive, and learn to become our next generation of Jewish leaders. Our legacy gift will ensure that future generations of Jewish college students will have the same opportunity as those who came before them.
