26 THE GUIDE 2018/2019
“The recipients are incredibly
appreciative to the schools and
to the donors that they know their
children are able to receive
a high-caliber Jewish education,
a modern Orthodox Jewish
education for their families.
I’ve heard ‘life-changing’ many
times. It puts children on a path to
set them up for success, to open
up doors for the future.”
STUART GASNER
“It’s sort of done on an individual basis, if there
are funds available and if the school feels the family
would be eligible,” Horowitz Matz said. “If a family
is thinking about attending one of our Jewish day
schools or preschools, they should talk to the finan-
cial officer at their school. Don’t do it one way or the
other ever. Always talk to the school directly.
“We want families to know that if they’re inter-
ested in sending their child to Jewish day schools,
we want to help them. They should always place a
phone call.”
Horowitz Matz noted that the foundation does
not meet the entire need for Jewish day school schol-
arships in the community. The foundation does not
have enough money to completely fund families
who are eligible, and some families who are not
eligible may still need scholarships.
“The cost of a private education is a chunk for
families to bite off,” she said. “It’s hard, any private
school.” After eligibility is determined, the foundation
works closely with schools, such as Kohelet Yeshiva,
which make recommendations as to the actual
awards. Gasner said that Jewish day schools, families and
donors are thankful the tax credit programs exist.
“The recipients are incredibly appreciative to the
schools and to the donors that they know that their
children are able to receive a high-caliber Jewish
education, a modern Orthodox Jewish education
for their families,” Gasner said. “I’ve heard the word
‘life-changing’ many times. It puts children on a
path to set them up for success, to open up doors
for the future.” l
