Pearl co-chairs annual event

Lisa Pearl, a long-time Scripps Ranch resident, is co-chair of Options: The Women’s Event. Each year, The Jewish Federation of San Diego County hosts a gathering of women in support of their work to provide humanitarian relief and sustain Jewish community for generations to come.

This year’s Options: The Women’s Event will be held on Feb. 2 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines at 10 a.m.

The featured entertainer for 2020 is award-winning comedy writer, best-selling author and Jewish philanthropist Carol Leifer. Leifer’s observational style humor won her four Emmy nominations for writing on such acclaimed television shows as “Seinfeld,” “The Larry Sanders Show” and “Saturday Night Live.” Leifer was dubbed “the real Elaine” because the series’ character, Elaine Benes, was partially based on her. Leifer has written for the “Oscars” telecast eight times, more than any other female writer to date. Leifer has also written two best-sellers based on her life.

Tickets to Options are $50. Purchase tickets online at jewishinsandiego.org/options.
