The Louis Rose Society for the Preservation of Jewish History is raising money to build a statue of Louis Rose, San Diego's first Jewish settler, at Louis Rose Point, at the foot of Womble Street in the old Naval Training Center, now known as Liberty Station.  Money is raised from people wishing to honor Jewish San Diegans living or dead.  Cost to add someone's name to the honor roll is a tax-deductible check for $36 made out to the Jewish Community Foundation/ Louis Rose Fund; 4950 Murphy Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92123.  For listing on the site, please email information about the honoree for whom you wrote the check to editor Donald H. Harrison at the San Diego Jewish World.

The Society also is slowly indexing back issues of San Diego's Jewish newspapers and seeks volunteers to work on this project. If you are interested, please call Harrison at (619) 265-0808.

Following are some stories that appeared on the jewishsightseeing.com site before the creation of the San Diego Jewish World: Links to the Louis Rose Society membership roll; its list of honorees and other interesting information may be found in the column to the left.
