A Legacy
Leave a Lasting Legacy
Typically, donations answer the question: “How can I help today?” Legacy gifts, on the other hand, ask: “How can I help tomorrow?” and “How would I like to be remembered?”
By including a legacy gift in your estate plan, you ensure that your values and commitment to our synagogue’s mission live on, benefiting future generations. Legacy giving allows you to make a lasting impact—a meaningful way to be remembered while continuing your support for the causes you care about most.
At Temple Emanuel, we understand the importance of advanced planning. To help our community navigate this process, we offer ethical will workshops and have partnered with trusted local memorial parks. Ethical wills—an important Jewish tradition—offer a powerful way to pass on your values, stories, and blessings to the next generation.

For Sue and Barry Brucker, making a legacy gift was especially meaningful due to the concept of l’dor v’dor, which means “from generation to generation.” Read more about their legacy here.
