Since 1936, we have been the central address for the organized Jewish community in San Diego.
Jewish Federation of San Diego is the central address for collective Jewish responsibility in our community. We raise and allocate funds, advocate on behalf of Jewish needs locally and globally, and build a stronger, more connected community.
We are guided by the Jewish values of tzedakah (justice and charity), tikkun olam (repairing the world), and kehillah (community). Our work ensures that every Jew who needs help can find it, and that Jewish life in San Diego remains vibrant for generations to come.
Nearly 90 years of building Jewish community in San Diego.
Jewish Federation of San Diego is established as the central fundraising body for the local Jewish community, then known as the Jewish Welfare Fund.
Federation mobilizes the San Diego Jewish community to raise emergency funds for the newly established State of Israel, beginning a lifelong bond.
The Jewish community campus at Murphy Canyon Road opens, bringing Federation offices and partner agencies under one roof.
Federation establishes its sister-city relationship with Sha'ar HaNegev, Israel — a partnership that deepens over the next 25+ years.
Jewish Federation of San Diego officially shortens its name, reflecting a more modern, city-forward identity for the organization.
Our volunteer board of directors guides Federation's strategic direction and ensures fiduciary responsibility.
