Ann & Nate Levine Academy Alumni

We loved welcoming back the Levine Academy Class of 2021 on Friday as they prepare to graduate from area high schools!

These incredible young adults joined us for Alumni Shabbat, helped lead services, and reconnected with beloved teachers, friends, and fellow alumni. Seeing them back on campus brought so much joy and pride to our community—it’s a reminder of the strong bonds that begin at Levine and continue long after graduation.

Mazel tov to the Class of 2021 on your upcoming high school graduations! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for each of you—and we hope you’ll come back often to visit, share your journeys, and celebrate with your Levine family. 💙

We are so proud of Levine Academy alumnus Ethan Fine, who recently spoke at the Prizmah Conference in Boston as a member of the Israel on Campus Coalition. In front of an audience of over 1,500 attendees, Ethan shared how his time at Levine Academy shaped his Jewish identity, leadership skills, and commitment to advocacy—values that continue to guide him today.
Ethan, who will graduate from Indiana University this year before beginning his career at Bank of America, has taken on active leadership roles in Jewish organizations, reinforcing the powerful and lasting impact of a Levine Academy education.
We are incredibly proud to see our alumni making a difference and inspiring the next generation of Jewish leaders!

Levine Academy Gala 2025 Honorary Alumni: Havy Rosenstock Friedman ('01)

For Havy Rosenstock Friedman and her family, Levine Academy has always been more than a school—it’s a second home. Over 41 years ago, Havy’s parents, Katty and Julio Rosenstock, moved from Costa Rica and found the warmth, love, and vibrant Jewish community they cherished at Solomon Schechter (now Levine Academy).

A proud alumna, Havy credits Levine for instilling a deep love of Judaism, a connection to Israel, and lifelong friendships. After graduating, she built a successful career in fashion and now serves as a Merchandise Planner and Buyer at Stanley Korshak.

When Havy and her husband, Max, returned to Dallas in 2019, enrolling their sons, Noah and Ari, in Levine’s Early Childhood program felt like coming full circle. Grateful for the exceptional educators and nurturing community, the Friedmans are committed to supporting Levine’s role in shaping the next generation.

Havy’s story is a testament to the lasting impact of Levine Academy—a place where love, learning, and Jewish values create a brighter future for all.

Levine Academy Gala 2025 Honorary Alumni: Daniel Frid ('00)

Dallas native Daniel Frid began his journey at Solomon Schechter Academy, where he developed a strong Jewish foundation and a profound sense of community. The values instilled in him—integrity, the teachings of Pirkei Avot (פרקי אבות), and striving to be a mensch—continue to guide his life and are now central to the upbringing of his children, Guy, Nili, and Rae, proud Levine Academy students.

A graduate of Plano West Senior High and Boston University, Daniel excelled as an NCAA Division I tennis player, balancing elite athletics with academic rigor. Today, as a professional at Shop Companies, Daniel exemplifies dedication and integrity, delivering tailored solutions in commercial real estate.

Deeply connected to his community, Daniel cherishes an active lifestyle and family time while remaining rooted in the enduring values of his Jewish education. His story reflects the lifelong impact of a foundation built at Solomon Schechter and Levine Academy.

Levine Academy Gala 2025 Honorary Alumni: Steven Nosnik ('98)

Steven Nosnik’s journey with Levine Academy began in 1985 as a toddler in Mommy and Me classes, planting the seeds of a lifelong connection. A proud graduate of the Class of 1998, Steven went on to excel at Greenhill School and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he graduated in 2006.

After starting his career as a futures trader in New York City, Steven founded a successful Wine and Spirits Import and Distribution Company. It was during his time in New York that he met his wife, Carolyn. Together, they built a life filled with love and purpose, raising their sons, Jack (😎 and Charlie (4), along with their beloved dog, Pablo.

In August 2023, after 17 years in New York, Steven and his family returned to Dallas, bringing his journey full circle. Enrolling Charlie in Pre-K at Levine Academy felt like coming home. Steven was deeply moved to find that the warmth, values, and sense of belonging he experienced as a child continue to thrive today. The Nosnik family was embraced by the Levine community during both joyful moments and difficult times, including the challenges of October 7, 2023.

Steven’s return has also brought beautiful reconnections, including remodeling the childhood home of his lifelong friend and Levine classmate, Daniel Lifshen. These experiences are a testament to the lasting bonds formed at Levine Academy—a place where friendships endure and community flourishes.

For Steven and Carolyn, Levine is more than a school; it’s a nurturing community that instills meaningful Jewish values and a sense of belonging. Their story reflects the enduring impact of Levine Academy—a place where connections and traditions are built to last for generations.

Levine Academy Gala 2025 Honorary Alumni: Julie Kern Wilkofsky ('93)

Julie Kern Wilkofsky’s journey with Levine Academy is a testament to the power of community, education, and enduring values. A Dallas native, Julie began her Levine story as a two-year-old and continued through 8th grade, where the foundation for her academic success and lifelong love of learning was laid.
Levine Academy shaped Julie in profound ways—instilling rigorous study skills, fostering a passion for education, and nurturing a strong Jewish identity that continues to guide her life. Her cherished memories, from the 7th-grade Texas history trip to the 8th-grade New York adventure, highlight the transformative experiences that remain core to Levine's legacy. Today, as a mother to Jordy ('23), Molly ('25), and Benja ('28), Julie finds joy in watching her children build their own Levine memories and lifelong friendships.
Now serving as Board President, Julie is leading with the same passion and dedication that defined her time as a student. She is a driving force behind strategic initiatives, fostering inclusivity, and building programs that make every family feel at home. Her vision is clear: to ensure Levine Academy continues to inspire generations of leaders, dreamers, and mensches.
