Chai Society

At Ezra Academy, every gift is an expression of commitment to our students, our mission, our vision, and our core values. Your support fuels Ezra’s excellence in learning, Jewish life, and community connection. Gifts go directly toward field trips, technology enhancements, teacher salaries, financial aid, campus upgrades, and more—all helping provide the best experiences for our students every day.

These giving levels honor supporters whose generosity lights the way, sustaining inspired teaching, joyful Jewish learning, and the strong sense of community that defines our school. We are deeply grateful to those who help ensure that Ezra Academy remains a place where curiosity is nurtured, leadership is encouraged, and Jewish identity thrives.
