Our Priorities

We invest in transformational experiences that ensure a brighter, stronger, and more connected Jewish community for generations to come. Our initiatives focus on inspiring a life-long love of Judaism, increasing community resilience, and deepening community bonds. And, understanding that a vibrant tomorrow depends on the cultivation of strong, insightful leadership today, we work to foster a robust pipeline of future leaders who share a commitment to Jewish values, leadership excellence, and the pursuit of a cohesive, dynamic community.

Our dedication to the welfare and well-being of our community is unwavering. Working alongside partners and supporters, we reach out to the most vulnerable among us – from low-income seniors and Holocaust Survivors to families in crisis and teens struggling with their mental health – making sure no one in our community is left behind. And when unforeseen crises impact our global community – such as war, natural disasters or economic instability – we are there to offer support, resources, and hope when it’s needed most.

Every day, we work to strengthen the bonds of the global Jewish community and fostering deep connections between San Diego and Israel. Through cultural exchanges, we facilitate meaningful relationships between San Diegans and Israelis. By collaborating with global partners, we support at-risk Jewish populations in times of need and contribute to the growth and prosperity of emerging Jewish communities worldwide. And by underwriting travel opportunities to Israel for teens and young adults, we inspire the next generation to cultivate lasting connections to the Jewish homeland.

Our efforts ensure that our community can engage in Jewish life with confidence and peace of mind, creating a secure and resilient environment for all. Our initiatives combat rising antisemitism, increase teen resiliency, and enhance the safety, security, and preparedness of Jewish institutions across San Diego. We also play a vital role in the global fight against antisemitism through partnerships with like-minded organizations, helping to amplify our impact and stand against hate on an international scale.
