UJF’s Connection to San Diego 2007 marked UJF’s 70th year in San Diego. When UJF was founded in 1937, San Diego had an estimated 2,000 Jews. In the years that followed, the Jewish community grew steadily to nearly 40,000 in just 40 years. Today, as it celebrates its 70th year of service in San Diego, the Jewish population has skyrocketed to more than 90,000. San Diego is currently the 13th largest Jewish community in the nation and UJF, together with its family of beneficiary and affiliated agencies, offers a myriad of programs and services for the Jewish community in San Diego. This year, UJF launched the Jewish Leadership Institute (JLI), a program designed to strengthen San Diego’s volunteer and professional leaders. Over 75 participants attended the four-session workshop exploring topics on: What is a Leader?; Jewish Ethics and Leadership Skills; and Leadership Impact. Over 50 leaders from 13 synagogues participated in the inaugural UJF–Synagogue Leadership Workshop. The theme, “Membership Has Its Privileges,”focused on synagogue recruitment, integration and retention. Attendees had the unique opportunity to network, brainstorm ideas; share best practices and explore areas of common concern. UJF awarded close to $90,000 in need-based scholarships to San Diego youth for Jewish summer camp and travel to Israel—providing 130 young people the opportunity to participate in these life-changing Jewish experiences. Additionally, in partnership with Camp Mountain Chai, the UJF Israel Center provided two-week camp scholarships for several children from our sister community, Sha’ar Hanegev. UJF worked closely with the Jewish Senior Services Council (JSSC) and its member agencies (Jewish Family Service, Seacrest Village Retirement Communities, Jewish Community Foundation and the Lawrence Family JCC) to establish a viable infrastructure to implement the “On The Go” Senior Transportation Program. In April 2007, the leadership of UJF unanimously approved the recommendations of the Governance Task Force to restructure the board by selecting 24 members to succeed the existing 82-member board. The new board aims to restructure, refocus and recommit UJF to the community, while making efficiency and effectiveness key components of the governing process.
