Dearest community, friends, supporters and visionaries,
I’m excited so share our first report on the Jewish Education Scholarship Fund’s goals and activities that we have B”H accomplished over these last few weeks.
We are thrilled to let you know, that thanks to you and your contributions, we have successfully raised close to $250,000 from our incredible community. When our community comes together in achdus, we are able to move mountains. Every single donation, both big and small, help us get one step closer to making this vision a reality.
In addition to the tremendous funding from our community, we have our first pledge of $1,000,000. We are currently working on agreements, details and conditions. May this generous tzaddik be the first of many to pledge $1,000,000 towards this desperately needed cause.
I am still working hard at making connections with potential donors, and many are starting to understand the need, vision, and new reality that we would like to build.
On the political side, I’m in touch with our State Senator Jesse Hamilton‘s office. Jesse is very friendly and even made a donation to the Jewish Education Scholarship Fund.
Together, we will hopefully be working on a new legislation that would sponsor a $1,000 credit towards each child that attends a qualified private school. Just that action alone will IMH save each family thousands of dollars a year.
I started working with our local schools to put together an office to work on projects like grants, vouchers and tuition. As of now, we have five schools on board and I’m in touch with two others that are interested. It’s a slow process, but I am determined to make it happen.
We are forming a team of lawyers, accountants and financial planners and are putting together a full plan that will be made public. The plan will outline all activities we will be doing, and committees that will be overseeing all aspects of the fund. This includes proper oversight and transparency. It is so important to us that there is 100 percent transparency, therefore we are hiring independent auditing companies to be certain that all the funds are used properly.
I want to thank you again for your support and encouragement. We wouldn’t have been able to come this far without you. Thank you for choosing to be a part of this tremendous vision, and together, it will very soon turn into a very real reality.
Please, continue to be our partner, and donate whatever you can. Monthly donations, even small ones make a huge impact over time. Donate on jewisheducationscholarshipfund.org.
May each and every one of you be showered in overflowing blessings in zchus of your support to this worthy cause!
If you know of anyone that would want to be involved in this campaign, please reach out to them or us.
I will let you know more as we progress on this exciting journey together.
Please view the video clip posted below and please also pass it on and share with your family and friends.
Warmly,
Rabbi Moshe Lieblich
P.S. Please think about us when you have extra maaser and if you have any connections to anyone please let me know, because I will follow any lead… we are also looking for volunteers in many professions, if you can volunteer please email me at [email protected]

This is certainly one way to fix an adaptive problem with a technical solution. It is quite obvious that this is nothing more than a temporary fix. The reality is that we have a problem of give a man and fish vs. teach a man to fish problem in our schooling system that we keep trying to prop up with charity money. The compound interest on one million dollars is only $40,741.54 a year (4%), what exactly is that going to solve? The correct way to invest this money, that will hopefully give is a far higher rate of return… Read more »
Can we have some explanation of the process and how parents will be notified as to what they need to do in order for the funds to reach their tuition account? I would be interested in understanding the flow of the 250k that is already available and it’s seamless and timely transition to the tuition account of a parent. I do not have a child in school but these are questions that any donor would would ask.
how can i reach you?
I’m in awe of what you’re doing!! A HUGE yasher koach!!
The school my kids attend (not Chabad) recently went through their own financial crisis, by no means as large as in ch, I’m talking about late paycheck a by 3 weeks. There solution was raise tuition. Tuition is 8k which is very low as far as Jewish schools go. Obviously the small annual tuition raises didn’t solve the crisis and only left parents frustrated. So the parents banded together, created their own board and hired an independent person to look into school finances. This person goes to failing organizations and helps restructure them. In the few months of financially restructuring… Read more »
My children are older now! I am crying watching this… I wish o had this… My children know the shame of not being allowed to start school at the beginning of the year because there was no money for tuition!
R’ Lieblich I didn’t think it was possible… Now I do!!!
Wow! I bless you Rabbi!

Congratulations on the conditional pledge you are working on. Please keep us posted when you have the actual commitment
Rabbi Lieblich seems so real, so caring, so down to earth and so determined. This will happen! Incredible. Wishing all those involved much hatzlacha!
Let’s all do everything we can to reach this goal. Everyone needs to see this. This should have more coverage than other news.
It’s the solution!
Keep up the great work!
Honestly did not think it was possible, even I’m impressed, and I was very critical.
