We are crafting & implementing a strategy to support Jews experiencing poverty. We pay special attention to local Holocaust survivors to ensure their days are spent with dignity.
Welcome to the
Jewish Federation of San Diego
At the hub of the Jewish community, the Jewish Federation of San Diego strategically engages donors, supporters and community partners in addressing and planning for current and future needs of the Jewish people locally, in Israel and around the world. We care for Jews in need everywhere, strengthen Jewish identity and community, and connect San Diego to Israel.
Fires across greater Los Angeles have forced tens of thousands to evacuate, destroyed homes, and tragically claimed at least two lives. Many Jewish institutions are in the evacuation zones, including a 100-year-old synagogue in Pasadena that has already been lost.
Jewish Federations are uniquely equipped to support communities in times of crisis. The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, along with the Jewish Federations of Ventura County and Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, has launched a relief fund to aid those affected.
You can help by contributing to their Wildfire Crisis Relief fund, ensuring that Jewish communities and others affected receive the assistance they desperately need.
We Stand with Israel
Federation remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting Israel and her people. As Israel’s war with Hamas continues to unfold, San Diego is making an invaluable impact in the relief and recovery efforts, particularly in the communities hit hardest by the October 7 terrorist attacks – including our sister region of more than 25 years, Sha’ar HaNegev.
