Leave Your Legacy in the “Book of Life”

More than 600 members of our Jewish community have already committed to include Federation or a Federation partner organization in their estate plan, representing more than $42 million in heartfelt commitments. The Foundation’s Create a Jewish Legacy initiative is gathering personal stories about generous donors for an online “Book of Life” album launching in the coming months. In words and images, donors and their loved ones can share what motivates them to provide for the future of the Jewish community. For more information, contact Jill Hagler at [email protected] or 786.866.8627.
