Emanuel Lehman (born Mendel Lehmann; February 15, 1827 – January 10, 1907) was a German born, American banker. The younger brother of Henry Lehman, he was a co-founder of Lehman Brothers.[1]
In 1897, he donated $100,000 (equivalent to $2.8 million in 2023) to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York, under the condition "to enlarge and perpetuate its usefulness."[2] In May 1859, he married Pauline Sondheim, daughter of Louis Sondheim of New York. Pauline died in 1871. They had four children: Milton Lehman; Philip Lehman, a partner in the firm; Harriet Philip Lehman, and Eveline Philip Lehman.[3]
