We both were raised in traditional Jewish families where we were educated to love our heritage from our beloved grandparents, parents, and extended family. We learned by example to support Israel, give tzedakah and take leadership roles for Jewish causes. They mentored us to live a life being grateful for the blessing we have received and to value Tikun Olam to help improve the world through actions. As Hillel wrote: If am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?

Together we have endeavored to help our San Diego community through our involvement in the Jewish Federation, Jewish Community Center and our synagogue, Ohr Shalom. Now as San Diego Jewish Community Foundation donors we are pleased to support the Jewish connections that have so enriched our lives. We are also proud our legacy will continue to fund our Jewish community for future generations.
