The following members of San Diego County's Jewish community, past or present,
have been selected by members of the Louis Rose Society for the Preservation
of Jewish History to be honored or memorialized. Some of our honorees were
universally loved, others were controversial during their lifetimes. All
contributed to the development of San Diego's Jewish community, or to the
betterment of the overall general community, or to both. Their pages will be
objective repositories for news articles, links, photographs, and essays on
their lives. We invite readers to send articles or remembrances about any of
our honorees, for possible posting on the web, to Donald H. Harrison at sdheritage@cox.net.
Furthermore, we encourage students and historians to develop papers about
members of the San Diego Jewish community, utilizing and citing this basic
research.
