After extensive planning and analysis, we can’t wait to share the findings of the San Diego Jewish Community Study: A Blueprint for Our Future with you this fall!
We know the best community planning decisions are made through meaningful collaboration using valid data. Now that we have current data, we hope you will join us at the San Diego Community Study Summit to share your insights, clarify the information you need to support your organization’s work, and guide our shared efforts to build a thriving Jewish community.
Each community organization is invited to bring two individuals authorized to make decisions on behalf of your organization to participate in the Summit. Please feel free to register professional or lay leaders to represent your organization. While only two leaders are invited to the Summit, the entire community is invited to our Community Convening on Sunday, December 3. Find out more here.

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.

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.
