For nearly 90 years, our Federation has worked to ensure there will be a vibrant, caring, connected, and enduring Jewish community in San Diego, Israel, and around the world for generations to come.
In living out our Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (charity), our efforts focus on:
Caring for Jews in need
Building a vibrant Jewish future
Connecting with Israel and the global Jewry
Creating a resilient and secure community
Jewish life thrives in San Diego. With more than 100,000 Jewish individuals and nearly 100 Jewish institutions across the region, our community is remarkably diverse, bringing different backgrounds, customs, and perspectives to the tapestry of our shared experience.
Every day, our Federation works to bring partners and supporters to the table to tackle the most pressing Jewish issues that no one organization can address alone. Whether in times of calm or times of crisis, our ability to act quickly, collaboratively, and collectively is our greatest strength.

If we could create a portrait of the Jewish community in Greater San Diego, what story would it tell? What would the community look like? What traditions would be bringing people together? What are common perspectives, and how are these evolving over time? A team of researchers and community organizations sought the answers to these and other questions.
