Aubrey Chernick is a US software entrepreneur. He is married to Joyce Chernick and it was reported in 2010 that Chernick has a net worth of 750 million.[1]

The Chernicks have funded a range of pro-Israel groups through their charitable foundation, the Fairbrook Foundation[2] and David Horowitz's Freedom Center:

The Chernicks did not respond to messages relayed through Horowitz and a spokesman. But according to Horowitz, Joyce Chernick offered four years ago to fund Spencer and Jihad Watch, then functioning as a stand-alone nonprofit, under the Horowitz Center’s organizational umbrella.[3]

In 2010 Politico also confirmed that "the lion's share of the $920,000 the Freedom Center provided over the past three years to Jihad Watch came from Joyce Chernick."[3] Chernick was also a "onetime trustee of the hawkish Washington Institute for Near East Policy."[3]
