Why Create a Jewish Legacy?Jewish tradition teaches us to make the
world a better place for future generations.
Chances are you already support Jewish
organizations of your choice. But have you
considered including those organizations
in your will so you can continue to make a
difference for generations to come?
Your legacy gift can reflect everything
that is important to you. The planning
process itself can engender meaningful
conversations with your family and
build bonds with your partners in the
community. You can rest assured that your
efforts will allow organizations to continue
their work to build and sustain a vibrant
Jewish future.
As my parents planted for me before I was born, so do I plant for those who will come after me.”
~ Talmud
