Emery Difference Fund
The Emery Difference
THE EMERY DIFFERENCE is one of those things that, unless you’ve experienced it, you can’t quite put your finger on. It is the essence of what we do to engage our students to explore opportunities beyond what each might imagine on their own and lies at the foundation of the EWS experience.
A gift to the Emery Difference Fund also offsets, quite literally, the difference between what tuition covers and the true cost of a uniquely-Emery education, increasing the breadth and depth of resources available for our students. You make a difference when you support the Emery Difference Fund. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Baron de Rothschild
The Rothschild Society
The Rothschild Society was established in the spirit of Baron de Rothschild, who was instrumental in providing great financial assistance to the early Zionist settlements in the late nineteenth century. The Rothschild Society is comprised of individuals who helped underwrite Emery/Weiner in its infancy. For Rothschild, the threats to Jewish continuity were the pogroms and anti-Semitism of Eastern Europe; thus he responded. For us, the threat to the Jewish continuity is assimilation and lack of education; thus we too must respond. The State of Israel could not have been born without Rothschild. Similarly, our school needs Rothschild-like support.
Members in this society are recognized publicly and permanently with a plaque mounted on The Rothschild Wall in the Freedman/Kaplan Commons, in addition to being acknowledged through other benefits. Rothschild Society membership requires a $100,000 gift, payable over four years (minimum $25,000 per year).

Golda's Circle
Born in Russia as Golda Mabovitz, Golda Meir’s childhood was marked by cold, hunger, poverty that claimed the lives of five siblings, and the memory of her father boarding the family’s front door in response to threats from imminent pogroms. But from such adverse, anti-Semitic circumstances grew one of the greatest of all modern Jews.
In 1906, Golda's family immigrated to the United States, and very quickly the young Golda distinguished herself as a leader – particularly in regard to Zionism. Just out of her teens, she moved to Palestine so that she could work first-hand to help build the Jewish state. Yet the very day after she signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence, when the fledgling state was attacked by five countries, Golda’s “work” took her back overseas; she was issued the country’s first passport and returned to the United States to raise much needed funds.
A woman of remarkable strength, who as Prime Minister of Israel presided over the country during the masterful rescue of hostages at Entebee and the miraculous turn-around during the Yom Kippur war, Meir’s legacy is one of complete commitment to the Jewish people. Members of Golda’s Circle share that passion. And though the challenges we face today may be different from those posed in Golda’s generation, they nevertheless remain. Thus, just like the girl from Milwaukee, members of Golda’s circle provide generous financial assistance that helps ensure the continued growth and vitality of our community.

Golda's Circle membership requires a $50,000 gift, payable over four years (minimum $12,500 per year).
