JewsinSchool Reports

---

Our Founder continues to be anonymous, so that she can continue to report on complicated issues without risking the safety of our community and herself. Many of our community members and partners have known "MIchelle" for years. She began JewsInSchool 6 years ago reporting on misinformation in colleges & schools about Israel and in Holocaust curriculum. Her work exposing antisemitism led to discovering a number of issues in the education system that resulted in antisemitism, but were at their root, educational and systemic issues of indoctrination as the result of ideology that had infiltrated our academic system through DEI, ethnic studies and foreign funding. 

She became a trusted source in the press for exposing issues in colleges and schools around the world. She began devoting her time to working with parents, students and teachers globally exposing issues of misinformation and antisemitism in schools, organically building a community of Jews who were seeking support during this societal shift. "Michelle" built JewsInSchool into a  coalition of Jews seeking change and a clearinghouse of resources and information. JewsInSchool were the first Jewish organization to petition the DOE and OCR on behalf of the Jewish community for k12 reform in America to promote honest curriculum, merit and academic standards. JewsInSchool has been mentioned as a trusted source in CNN, The Times of Israel and The Forward.

Jeff Rabhan has worked in virtually all areas of the music and entertainment industry with a specialized emphasis on artist development and as a top artist manager has helped guide the careers of international superstars across all genres of popular music, from Kelly Clarkson to Lil' Kim, Michelle Branch to DMX, Kelly Rowland and Jermaine Dupri. His clients have garnered more than a dozen Grammy Awards, sold more than 250 million albums, and generated over one billion dollars in global receipts. He is an author, a trusted advisor and professor, and an internationally recognized leader in experiential education. 

Born in Savannah, GA, and raised in Richmond, VA, Rabhan received a journalism degree from New York University. Upon graduation Rabhan was offered a position at Rolling Stone magazine followed by a stint at SPIN. He then joined the staff of Atlantic Records, ultimately serving as Senior Director of A&R and Soundtracks before Elektra Records named him Executive Director in Charge of Soundtracks, overseeing all releases.

After a successful tenure at Elektra, Rabhan briefly but productively worked as an independent music supervisor and A&R consultant, discovering multiple superstar artists and supervising the highly successful “Scream” movie soundtrack before developing and ultimately managing the career of singer-songwriter Michelle Branch from demo recordings to Grammy Award and multi platinum success. Soon after he was tapped to become a partner at top entertainment company The Firm where Rabhan contributed to the success of over 20 worldwide acts, including Linkin Park, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias and Snoop Dog and provided branding expertise in the marketing of Firm-owned athletic shoe company Pony.

Next, Rabhan raised significant capital and launched his own venture, Three Ring Projects, an entity that embraced multiple media platforms including a record label through Universal Music, a publishing venture with Sony/ATV, a management company and fashion and lifestyle products. Here, Rabhan designed and launched a new model success story, parlaying American Idol Elliot Yamin's national visibility into the biggest chart debut by a new artist on an independent label in the history of Soundscan. Earning a reputation for guiding successful careers in diverse genres of music, Rabhan took the reins of Grammy award-winning artists Kelis and Everlast, while remaining a close advisor to Jermaine Dupri, one of the true architects of contemporary popular music.

Under Rabhan’s decade of leadership as Chairman, The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts was transformed into the leading music business program for creative entrepreneurs in the world, and as Chairman, he launched multiple groundbreaking initiatives, including a Future Music Moguls mentoring program, and online certificate program, doubled the student body size, and he personally oversaw the design and construction of a new, state of the art studio facility for the program. Rabhan guided all aspects of curriculum, faculty and partnerships, and the Institute remains the most diverse and most selective at NYU and of all music programs in the world. Passionate for mentoring and brand building, Rabhan instructs in multiple disciplines and remains very active professionally in the fashion and music-related industries by advising several established brands and Fortune 500 companies. He remains a sought after expert on creative brand building, marketing strategies and efforts to reach a worldwide audience for music and services, having worked closely with Samsung, Coca Cola, Universal Music Group, and Sony Music Japan. 

Jeff recently served as Executive Director of the Los Angeles Academy for Artists and Music Production—a songwriting and production accelerator created with superstar writer/producer duo Stargate.

Her mission is to honor her son’s legacy by heightening awareness on the dangers and sometimes devastating consequences of cyberbullying and all social media-related harms through eduction, legislative reform and legal action. 
Bronstein’s mission is to expose the misconduct of the NAIS and the private school industry. In many cases, NAIS schools choose their reputations and their endowments  over child safety and well being, which has resulted in harming many children and families across the country.

After working for Digital Advertising Agencies and Tech start-ups for 10 years, I left to take on my most important, challenging, and fulfilling role: Mother. 

When my children entered public school, I knew the importance of maintaining an involvement in their education and I volunteered wherever, whenever, and however I could. It was due to this involvement that I was able to recognize the deep illness and rot in their schooling and in our district early on. 

My advice to all parents is this: 

Get Involved. Pay Attention. Participate.

The sad reality is that no one is coming to save our children; it's up to us, individually. This fight is NOT our children's to fight. It's ours.

Suggested Summer Homework for Parents:

1) Research your city/state department of education and academic standards. Familiarize yourself with the guidelines and curriculum that's being used across your local schools.

2) Find and connect with other like-minded families and teachers in your area. If a group hasn't been started yet, start one.
