Leadership

“I believe we have today the most valuable assets any organization can have. We have talented, bright, articulate, compassionate and committed lay leaders, who are fully engaged in the mission. We have equally talented, passionate, committed, hard-working, and effective senior staff that works incredibly well and collaboratively with the board. We have a CEO in Daniel Ruth who is visionary and who operates with an extraordinary level of transparency. And we have our 138-year history of excellence of care. I believe these assets, along with the support of our community partners, will enable us to thrive and grow appropriately.”

Chair, Jewish Home board of trustees

“Since its founding during the Gold Rush, our local Jewish community's agencies and organizations have been pacesetters and innovators in planning for the needs of their members. The Jewish Home of San Francisco is unsurpassed in the pivotal role it plays in addressing the needs of our community's older adults, irrespective of their financial resources. The Home and its affiliate organizations will continue this proud tradition as we develop a coordinated and integrated network of care and services to a diverse cross-section of our community. The Jewish Home and the broader network will be developed in a flexible and dynamic manner such that it will continue to evolve in lockstep with the changing demographics of new generations of older adults.”
