He contributed several buildings to the university, including the Schottenstein Center on its Wilf Campus in Washington Heights.
That facility houses the Schottenstein Theater, Florence and Sol Shenk Synagogue and beit midrash, Philip and Sarah Belz School of Jewish Music, Dr. Lillian Chutick and Dr. Rebecca Chutick Recital Room, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gampel Communications Center.
Jerome was also a founder and honorary life chairman of the Columbus Torah Academy and a major contributor to the Wexner Heritage House and Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center.
His sons-in-law, Ari Deshe and Jon Diamond, are the founders of Safe Auto Insurance Company.
