Louis and Manette Mayberg

Manette Mayberg

Manette Mayberg is dedicated to investing in the Jewish people through her passion to support Jewish education and outreach. Under her leadership, the Mayberg Foundation has become a leading vehicle for entrepreneurial philanthropy and strategic grantmaking guided by the values of foundational Judaism, connectedness of all Jews, and collective effort.

In 2019, Manette founded MyZuzah, which provides kosher mezuzahs to connect, protect and unite Jews worldwide. MyZuzah recently collaborated with actress and ally Patricia Heaton to promote Jewish pride and allyship through the #MyZuzahYourZuzah campaign. Through their work at MyZuzah, Manette and her team identified a lack of transparency and reliability in the STa"M (Sifrei Torah, Tefillin, and Mezuzah) field, which ultimately inspired the creation of STAMP. She also founded the Jewish Education Innovation Challenge (JEIC) in 2011, to improve the Jewish day school field’s capability to build students’ Jewish identity and guide spiritual development.

Manette co-founded Momentum (2008), a global movement in partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora, connecting tens of thousands of Jewish mothers to Jewish wisdom and values and to Israel through a year of growth, including an immersive journey in Israel. They return with a stronger Jewish identity and passion for engaging in their local Jewish communities, living the beauty of Jewish unity without uniformity, and transmitting Jewish values and practice to their families. She currently serves on Momentum’s Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Education Advisory Panel, and Israel Committee. Manette is serving a second term as National Senior VP of the Orthodox Union.

As a thought leader in the Jewish philanthropic sector, Manette has written several notable opinion pieces on Israel and Jewish education, which have been featured in eJewish Philanthropy, Washington Jewish Week, and Aish.com. Manette and Louis move between their work and their kids and grandkids in the US and Israel.
