{Names with links are honorees of the Louis
Rose Society for the Preservation of Jewish History. If you would like
to honor a member of the San Diego County Jewish Community who is not
living in your own household, you can write a tax-deductible check for $36 to
the Jewish Community Foundation/ Louis Rose Fund, and send it to the foundation
at 4950 Murphy Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92123. Be sure to designate on
the memo line of the check whom you would like to honor. Additional
honorees may be designated for contributions of $18 (chai) to the Louis Rose

Rady, who only four years ago gave $30 million to
UCSD's Rady School of Management, has given exactly double—$60 million—to
Children's Hospital and Health Care Center which, as of now, takes his
name as the Rady Children's Hospital and Health Care Center. Other Jewish
philanthropists whose large gifts have benefited San Diego in recent years
include Irwin
& Joan Jacobs
who gave $120 million and $110 million respectively to the San Diego Symphony
and the University of California, and Sol
& Helen Price
who donated $70 million to the San Diego Foundation. So let's
see... 30, 60, 70, 110, 120...that's $390 million to the general community from
major Jewish philanthropists since 1998. T Mickey Targum, principal of the High School of Jewish Studies, aka "Hebrew High," is trailblazing a once-a-month seminar for 11th grade students, to be held on a Sunday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Agency for Jewish Education. Recognizing that the students often prefer to study on week nights during the critical 11th grade, on which many college admissions are based, this program will enable the students to remain connected to their Jewish friends and also to explore issues of relevance as they begin contemplating moving from home to college. Once the pressure of the 11th grade is over, the students as high school seniors will resume regular Hebrew High school classes. The October through May program for the 11th graders will cost $180 |
