Leaving the World a Better Place
With a legacy gift to the school, you may impact thousands of children beyond your lifetime. Rockwern Academy is a proud participant in the Create Your Jewish Legacy program, which is funded by the Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati and seven private families and coordinated through the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati.
Anybody can do it
A planned gift is possible regardless of age or financial circumstances. Your gift may be customized to fit your goals and needs. Our legacy donors believe that:
- Every Jewish child, regardless of financial circumstances, deserves a Jewish day school education.
- Rockwern fosters a strong Jewish identity in its students, creating Jewish leaders for generations to come.
- The Jewish children of Cincinnati deserve a state of the art facility, offering a cutting-edge secular studies program, along with an inspiring Judaic studies education.
- The community of Rockwern Academy provides invaluable relationships and connections throughout Jewish Cincinnati, which will help in the future endeavors of our students.
- Instilling a love for learning and Torah inspires the next generation to make Judaism a central part of their life.
