“A match made in heaven,” is how Rabbi Isaac Melnick describes the partnership that resulted in Shorashim Academy in Plantation, Florida. Previously, Isaac ran a large Judaic afterschool program at an English‐Hebrew Charter School. His Shorashim co‐founder, Rabbi Dr. Gur Berman, served as principal at two of the charter school’s campuses.“In August of 2021, I decided that I wanted to start a school. I didn’t really know what I was getting into,” explains Isaac. “I have a nonprofit that dates back to 2014 with the mission to promote Judaic education. So I thought, what better way to do that than starting a private school? I’d be able to build the school of my dreams.”
