Thank you for joining us for the second annual Blueprint: The San Diego Jewish Community Forum.
This event is a meaningful convening of local leaders from across the Jewish community, where we will determine how to face evolving challenges and emerging opportunities. By using a unique and data-driven approach drawn from our findings in the Community Study, we will collectively reflect, have open dialogue, and form bold ideas to shape the future together.
