Federation Events
Come together with the community for signature celebrations, meaningful commemorations, and inspiring experiences throughout the year.
Get Involved
There’s a place here for everyone.
Most people start by trying out something new. Showing up to an event, sending a kid to camp, or boarding a plane with people they’ve never met. Ninety years of Jewish life in San Diego was built by people who showed up where it mattered to them.
How will you connect?
There’s more than one way to connect with Jewish Federation of San Diego. Whether you’re looking to give, grow, lead, travel, or connect, find what fits you and discover where it can take you.
Almost nobody wakes up wanting to join an organization, but what drives connection is a meaningful path to real friendships, a place to build skills and confidence, and the drive to build a community their children will still belong to twenty years from now.
