Create a Legacy
What does it mean to create a legacy?
Legacy or planned giving is another way to give to the community beyond your lifetime, to strengthen future generations to come.
Please consider expressing your commitment to our community, and securing the future of our congregation for our children and generations to come, by including Congregation Rodef Sholom in your estate plans. You can provide Rodef Sholom’s future by making the synagogue a beneficiary of any of the following:
- A simple bequest in your will – for a set dollar amount or a percentage of the residual;
- All or a portion of your individual retirement account (IRA);
- A new or existing life insurance policy;
- A charitable remainder trust.
Please consult with your tax advisor to determine the best way for you to include Congregation Rodef Sholom in your estate plans.
Legacy Circle
Congregants who have indicated their intention to make a legacy gift are invited to be a member of our Legacy Circle, a group of honored congregants whose generosity helps to ensure the future of our congregation. Legacy Circle members are invited to a special annual event and service.
For more information about planned giving options or the Legacy Circle, please contact Tracey Klapow, Executive Director, tracey@rodefsholom.org. All inquires will be held in strict confidence.
To notify Congregation Rodef Sholom that you have made a provision in your estate plan for the synagogue, please complete our Legacy form.
