The Founda- tion and University established the first credit-bearing academ- ic real estate program in New Jersey, which was one of 65 in the country at the time and is one of 100 such programs today.

Kislak entered the family real estate business in 1945, making it his life’s work. After moving to Miami in the early 1950s, he established what would become one of the country’s largest privately held mortgage banks, origi- nating and servicing loans nationwide for more than 40 years. Until his death in 2018 at age 96, Kislak served as chairman of the Kislak Orga- nization, which today focuses on real estate investments and brokerage. MAREJ
