About Us

The Gisela and Daniel Ades Foundation is a small Miami-based family foundation created in 2020 for the purpose of developing, implementing, and supporting programs focused on Jewish education, the Jewish community, Israel education, and Israel advocacy.  Its primary focus since inception has been the building and launching of the Jewish Leadership Academy, a new Jewish middle and high school aimed at the community's most academically able and ambitious students.
