Chinuch Yehudi Inc is a Jewish education-focused private foundation that primarily funds day schools, yeshivas, synagogue-run school programs, and community Torah education across Sunbelt Jewish communities (notably South Florida, Orlando, Atlanta and Boca Raton). Its grants support direct Jewish educational programming and institutional operating or program support, often channelled to denominational schools and community learning centers rather than secular social services. The foundation favors established Jewish educational institutions and repeats funding to a handful of core schools while also making smaller, distributed awards to regional academies and Torah centers.
Chinuch Yehudi Inc. centers its giving on Jewish educational programming, with large awards flowing to day schools, yeshivas, and synagogue-affiliated learning programs in Florida and a few other Sunbelt Jewish communities. Recent support includes $92,625 to Jewish School of Miami in Hollywood for Jewish Educational Programming and $90,755 to Jewish Academy of Orlando in Maitland for the same purpose, showing a pattern of backing established institutions rather than one-off projects. The foundation also returned to several recipients across multiple years, including Scheck Hillel School in North Miami Beach and Congregation Ariel in Atlanta, which suggests a relationship-based approach to grantmaking. Its grants are directed to direct Jewish education, including K–12 school programming, Torah instruction, and community learning centers. The roster of recipients points to Modern Orthodox and Orthodox institutions as well as synagogue-run educational efforts, with awards spread across school systems and community institutions rather than secular social-service providers. The foundation’s recent record shows a consistent emphasis on institutional support for Jewish learning within regional Jewish communities.
A core theme is school-based Jewish education. Chinuch Yehudi Inc. gave $51,250 to Scheck Hillel School in North Miami Beach for Jewish Educational Programming, and it also supported Katz Hillel Day School in Boca Raton with $11,320 for the same purpose. Another repeated area is synagogue and community learning. Congregation Ariel in Atlanta received $50,000 for Jewish Educational Programming in both 2023 and 2024, while Orlando Torah Center in Orlando received $31,500 in 2023. The foundation also funds Jewish K–12 institutions in South Florida, including The Jewish Academy in Hollywood, which received $30,000 in 2024 and $12,000 in 2025. Related awards went to Hebrew Academy of Miami for Jewish Educational Programming in 2023 and 2025.
Typical grant sizes cluster around a mid-sized range: the 25th percentile is $8,531, the median is $14,850, and the 75th percentile is $44,088. The pattern includes both repeated support and many similar program grants, with some recipients appearing in multiple years rather than as single-time grantees. The foundation appears to operate as a private foundation, led by Chaim Bernstein, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent grant list suggests direct institutional support, often for ongoing Jewish educational programming.
