In lieu of Brain Dates this month, join us over lunch for an armchair conversation from 12-1pm with Michael Hopkins, Chief Executive Officer of Jewish Family Service of San Diego. We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of leading a Jewish organization during this tumultuous time. We’ll touch on maintaining staff and board morale, raising critically needed resources, navigating the sharp increase in anti-Semitism, and more.
Sharyn Goodson, Vice President of Philanthropy at the Leichtag Foundation will interview Michael, followed by time for participant questions and comments.

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.
Lifelong Baltimoreans, Rabbi George and Alison Wielechowski and their sons, 11-year-old Lennon and 9-year-old Gideon, are more than pursuing the good life in Southern California. Having moved to San Diego more than three years ago, they are fulfilling a lifelong dream.
You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
