“The goal is to lower barriers of participation in Jewish
life for young people. Many don’t have synagogue memberships but want a
spiritual experience for the holidays. By offering tickets at a discount
they can see the value of synagogue connection without having to make a
significant financial commitment.” said Rabbi Janice Elster, 2030 Project
Manager. “Since over half of the participants were new to the program
this year we know we are continuing to meet a need and that there are more
young adults out there who want to find connection. We hope to expand it
in future years.”

Rachel, age 29, said the following:
“As young adults, not ready to commit to one synagogue, or able to
afford a year’s membership, the discount ticket program allows my husband
and I to fulfill the most sacred Jewish obligation. Without this wonderful
program, we would have to choose between traveling far to join other family at
their non-San Diego synagogue, or not be able to attend at all. This program
builds Jewish community as it allows for an easy access point for young adults
to be involved in San Diego.”
