TAUBE KORET CAMPUS FOR JEWISH LIFE

• In October 2001, a coalition of Jewish organizations announces that it has entered into an agreement with Sun Microsystems to acquire the company’s headquarters site in Palo Alto.

• The coalition later adopts the name Campus for Jewish Life. The CJL Supporting Foundation of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund is formed and fundraising begins for the land acquisition.

• The campus receives a combined $15 million grant (later increased to $20 million) from the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture and Koret Foundation Funds. It is announced that the development will be named the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life.

• A collaborative initiative among the Jewish Home of San Francisco; the Albert L. Schultz Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto; the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties; and local community leaders.
