A Legacy of sustaining Jewish Life in Greater Long Beach

A Legacy of sustaining Jewish Life in Greater Long Beach

Jewish Long Beach is honored to continue the philanthropic legacy of community members, and especially grateful for those who left a planned gift in their estate to form an Annual Campaign Endowmnet. Their generosity lives on in perpetuity through the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Long Beach. Their memories remain a blessing to our community, and their legacy supports advocacy, programming, leadership training, and grantmaking that creates a safe, family-friendly environment, where one can be proud to be Jewish and partner with the Greater Long Beach community. With Dr. James Licht’s passing earlier this year, his legacy is cemented with a Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment. Dr. Licht and his wife, Anne, have both continued the generous support they gave in their lifetime through Planned Giving. While their greatest legacy are the loving children and grandchildren, his leadership, caring heart, and strength in identity lives on in the mission-driven work of Jewish Long Beach. There are many ways one can leave a charitable legacy to the causes and nonprofit organizations through Jewish Long Beach and the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Long Beach, so please visit our website and contact Kevin Giser, Chief Operating & Development Officer.
