Advisement
Born and raised in the Old City of Jerusalem, Sarah is a lifelong educator and mother of five. After teaching in Israel, she moved to Miami to launch a Jewish school for Israeli families — starting with 35 students and growing to over 400. That school became a model for dozens more across the U.S.
“Every Jewish child — no matter where they live or how connected they feel — deserves access to a strong Jewish education.”
Sarah Kornfeld
A mom of three, Keren is passionate about helping families access Jewish schools and camps. Her favorite part of the work? Seeing the ripple effect one great experience can have.
“When a child loves their camp or school, it changes the entire family. That feeling — it’s priceless.”
Keren Ifraimov
Shoshana is a devoted wife and mother with a deep passion for helping others grow. With a Psychology degree from Touro College and experience across multiple fields, she brings insight, empathy, and dedication to every interaction.
“Helping someone succeed starts with understanding who they are — and then giving them the tools to become who they’re meant to be.”
Shoshana Mirkin
Chana Baila supports JEI’s operations across the U.S. — and brings warmth and care to every conversation. A proud team member and remote worker, she loves what she does.
“Knowing that a child is walking into a Jewish school or camp for the first time — and that I helped make that happen — is everything.
Chana Baila Rutman

Moshe Yadgar
Chasya is a proud Israeli mom of two, a former teacher of seven years, and someone who truly puts her heart into helping families.
