When you name the Temple Israel Foundation as a beneficiary of your estate, you express your Jewish values and provide lasting support for our Jewish community.  Legacy gifts may be made by designating Temple Israel in your will or living trust. You may also name Temple Israel as beneficiary of a life insurance policy, a retirement plan, or an IRA by revising the beneficiary designation form. Your financial advisor or estate attorney can suggest the best ways for you to include Temple Israel in your estate plans. You may also be able to reserve a dedication or a memorial in anticipation of a future donation.

The Legacy Circle is a society formed to recognize those visionaries who have provided for the future of our congregation by including Temple Israel in their estate plans, or by creating an endowment fund within the Temple Israel Foundation in their lifetimes. Members of the Legacy Circle are honored each year at a special Shabbat, and are periodically listed in our publications. For more information on supporting our community through legacy giving, please contact Judith Friedman, Foundation Director.
