About JEEF
Our Story
Born From the Classroom
JEEF was founded by Rabbi Dovid Nathan after more than a decade in senior leadership of Jewish day schools. With the increasing costs of living, Rabbi Nathan saw the daily impact of the affordability crisis on both the parents and the schools he served.
JEEF was established to solve this problem permanently — not through annual fundraising campaigns, but through a perpetual endowment fund that generates ongoing support for Jewish day schools year after year.
