San Diego / Orange County Chapter

About the San Diego / Orange County Chapter

The San Diego and Orange County Chapter was originally founded as the San Diego Chapter in 2009 by Dan and Nina Brodsky, Norman and Jill Smith and Julian and Jenny Josephson. With over 3000 active supporters hailing from San Diego, Orange County, and New Mexico, we host parlor meetings, women’s events, galas and dinners.

We are active supporters of IMPACT! student scholarships as well as battalions and brigades. Additionally, we have helped fund projects for our soldiers throughout Israel to include gyms, auditoriums, clubhouses and leisure corners.

Our annual galas are sold out events with exciting themes ranging from IDF ingenuity to the IDF’s humanitarian efforts. Each year, we host missions to Isael wherein participants experience the Jewish State with unparalleled access to dignitaries and bases, deepening their connections to the Israel and her soldiers.

In 2016, the chapter implemented the organizations first Women’s Brigade committee to raise and increase awareness of and support female IDF soldiers.
