Lev Jewish Academy holds grand opening in Lawrence after Brandeis transformation

The former Brandeis Hebrew Academy is now part of a partnership with the Leviev Foundation.

Lev Jewish Academy, formerly Brandeis Hebrew Academy, held its grand opening and dedication ceremony in Lawrence, according to 5 Towns Central. The school is now operating under a new partnership involving the Leviev Foundation, philanthropist Lev Leviev, and Chagit Sofiev-Leviev.

The school says the new chapter will focus on Torah education, academic excellence, and strengthening Jewish identity. The partnership also aims to make Jewish day school more accessible to families, including through financial assistance and support for children moving over from public schools.
