"The Barrack Hebrew Academy Annual Fund represents a collective effort by our parents, alumni and community leaders to provide critical support for Barrack Hebrew Academy's highest priorities-above all, our students and faculty. Thank you for participating."

Invest in Your Child's Future: Close the Gap

The Barrack Hebrew Academy Annual Fund was established to help close the gap between tuition and the actual cost of an Barrack Hebrew Academy education. This past year, Barrack Hebrew Academy's annual operating budget was nearly $6 million dollars, but tuition income provided just 75% of the budget. The actual "gap" between tuition and the real cost of an Barrack Hebrew Academy education is about $2,000 for each student. The annual support from alumni, parents and friends of the school is critical to closing our gap.

The Annual Fund supports the school as a whole and benefits each and every student, helping to meet the immediate needs for essential areas, such as financial aid, library books and systems, lab equipment, transportation subsidies, and support for the recruitment, recognition and retention of our outstanding faculty.

We encourage every family to participate in the Barrack Hebrew Academy Annual Fund each year at whatever level is comfortable. For some that is $18,000, for some it is $18. At Barrack Hebrew Academy, we strive for 100% parent participation. We also ask you to check with the company for whom you work to see if they will match your gift, increasing its value. All Annual Fund contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Take part in the Annual Fund today by contacting Elyce Teitelman, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement, at 610-922-2322.  You can email her at eteitelman@jbha.org or click here to make an Online Gift.
