Support Support

The Jack and Harriet Rosenfeld Foundation Program in Jewish Education at the University of Miami School of Education and Human Development was established in 2009 to support and enhance education in the Jewish schools throughout South Florida. The Foundation's Program at UM owes a debt of gratitude to its trustees, Dr. Jay Kaufman, and Lynn W. Fromberg, as well as to the leaders of the University of Miami School of Education and Human Development, headed by Dean Isaac Prilleltensky.
