The Foundation for Jewish Day Schools (FJDS) Board is composed of individuals who reflect a cross-section of the community, ensuring that the state-regulated tax credit program is both representative of and effective for the Greater Philadelphia community.

Board members bring diverse Jewish traditions, professional expertise and a range of connections — some with specific schools and others with broader communal perspectives — all united by their deep support for Jewish education and commitment to leveraging Pennsylvania’s unique funding opportunities.

Their involvement in administrative processes, policy-making and advocacy at both state and federal levels helps guide and strengthen the program’s impact on Jewish day and preschools as well as innovative education in public schools throughout the region.
