The warm, strong bonds of friendship formed through the Women of Beth Israel keeps me inspired and connected to our Beth Israel community.

LEAR MORE ABOUT WOMEN OF BETH ISRAEL
Meet Jason
I currently serve as one of the co-chairs of the Congregation Beth Israel Social Action Network. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I saw firsthand the challenges faced by the historically neglected communities within our society and quickly learned the importance of Tikun Olam. Congregation Beth Israel has given me a platform to continue helping others, while also creating opportunities to meet other congregants and help them give back to the broader San Diego community.
