What is the Legacy Society?

The Legacy Society is a group of donors who have confirmed that they have provided a bequest to Beth El in their will or estate plan. A Beth El endowment fund has been created for these special gifts.

Why you should participate in the Legacy Society?

As we enter a new period in the history of Beth El, it is clear that one of our challenges is financial. Considering the growing needs of Beth El –

Therefore, it is imperative that we collectively work to expand congregational participation in the Legacy Society.

What does Beth El require once you have decided to participate?

Beth El requests that you complete a written Declaration of Intent. This document is morally binding, but not legally binding. It shows your commitment to include Beth El in your will or estate plan.

How large a bequest can I afford?

The amount of the bequest is a personal decision and the amount is open-ended. The answer lies in the donor’s heart – namely, what feels right to you. Whatever the choice, the donor may be surprised at how the mere act of making this decision and including the gift in their will lightens their step and makes the world seem friendlier. “You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”
