Lead Gift

The Lowell Milken Family has made a commitment that represents an extraordinary expression of the values that have guided Stephen Wise Temple and Schools since our inception. It was the belief of our founder Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin (Z”L), that education is the core of our people’s vibrancy and continuity. Rabbi Zeldin found a kindred soul in Lowell Milken, whose family will provide a generous matching gift of $10,000,000 in capital.

As part of this inspiring commitment, the Lowell Milken Family will provide an additional eight year annual matching gift of $250,000 towards programming, will support professional development, specialty programming, community engagement, and recruitment.

“My four sons—indeed our entire family— benefited greatly from the education and community we experienced during our years in the early childhood education program at Stephen Wise Temple. I, along with my family, look forward to partnering with Stephen Wise Temple and Wise School leadership to develop an unparalleled early childhood education experience that helps to advance Jewish learning and continuity.”
