We are very proud that our daughter, Sarah, is attending Donna Klein
Jewish Academy. This has even more meaning to us, as I previously
attended DKJA when it first opened. Sarah is the next generation—a
legacy. We view DKJA as vital to the continuity of our Jewish
community. The DKJA administration and teachers are kind and
genuinely care about the development of the students. The educators
focus on academics and character, and they continually keep in mind
the Jewish heritage that they are instilling and reinforcing. It is also
very rewarding to see Sarah enjoying DKJA as much as I did as a
student. Our son Ramon, too, will have the opportunity to learn and
grow at DKJA.JONATHAN LOUIS ’82

THE ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST.”
I'm undoubtedly the person I am today as a result of my years
at Donna Klein Jewish Academy. As a young adult, it’s so
important to have a strong sense of Jewish identity. DKJA has
prepared me with the perspective to represent a positive
message for our people, wherever my life takes me...

Donna Klein Jewish Academy instilled within me a sense of
pride for Israel. Many years at DKJA drove me to excel
academically at the University of South Florida while
becoming involved with student organizations such as Hillel
and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. DKJA has
prepared me with the confidence I need to grow as a leader in
today’s world.

Donna Klein Jewish Academy was the right choice for
each of our four children for different reasons. The school’s
comprehensive academic program, the integration of Jewish
learning, and a nurturing environment set this school apart.
The DKJA experience stretched beyond the classroom and
into the daily lives our children, and for that we are
forever grateful.

Donna Klein Jewish Academy has given me the tools to
become more proactive in my journey toward a career in law.
I've never been more grateful for DKJA's commitment to
academic excellence until now, when it matters most. As I
embark on my law school career, I am quickly realizing just
how incredible the teachers and faculty are at DKJA.

As parents, we have been impressed with the infusion of
Jewish practice, knowledge, and values that DKJA provides
our children daily. From engaging tefilah to relevant Torah
study and appropriately challenging secular studies, to the
caring teachers and responsive administrators, we know our
children are in the very best place to grow into caring, lifelong

As a junior at Boston University, I am pursuing a major in mechanical
engineering while also studying in the Kilachand Honors College, BU's
new, multidisciplinary honors program. I am President of BU's
Residence Hall Association, where I oversee a team of fifty
student–leaders responsible for shaping the residence life experience
of the 11,000 students living on campus. As an Inspiration Ambassador
to BU's Technology Innovation Scholars Program, I am thrilled to visit
DKJA and schools in the greater Boston area in order to inspire
younger students to pursue degrees in engineering. The values that
DKJA has instilled within me will continue to guide me
throughout my life.
