Center for Jewish Life at Beth David

Belonging isn’t a privilege. It’s a promise.   

Hope alone can’t keep that promise — but you can. Your gift to the Gordon School Scholarship Fund keeps Jewish learning and community accessible for every family. 

At the Center for Jewish Life and the Gordon School, belonging begins here.

When Ben and his wife enroll their daughter at the Gordon School, they hope she’ll find more than a classroom — they want her to find a community. On her first day, a teacher kneels to greet her by name, and another child reaches out a hand. “It’s not just that she belongs. We do, too.”

Here, belonging starts early and grows with every generation, from the classroom through community life.

What if your child had to leave the place they finally felt they belonged? 

For many families, that’s the question they face before the first day of school, or when life changes mid-year. The Gordon School Scholarship Fund makes sure the answer is always the same: you belong here.

Families are accepted based on readiness and fit — never on financial status — yet many cannot afford tuition after acceptance. Without scholarship support, some children simply couldn’t stay.

Your gift to the Gordon School Scholarship Fund closes tuition gaps at enrollment and mid-year, keeping children learning and families connected through every stage of life at the Center.
