Leaving a legacy with Jewish values

Leaving a Legacy with Jewish Values

Kevin Giser | Chief Operating Officer & Development Officer

The Jewish practice of leaving a legacy for the next generation is one of our most ancient customs, passing down traditions and shared values worth more than resources and material goods. From Moses’s farewell address to the recently freed Hebrew people to Jacob’s prophetic words to his children, Jewish values have been willed down L’Dor V’Dor (from generation to generation). These ethical wills focused on living a good, righteous life, doing Tzedakah (justice) through actions in our daily lives and charity.

With Jewish Long Beach and the Jewish Community Foundation, your legacy can create opportunities for your children and future generations to continue the philanthropic work that inspires you today. Your passion for local, national and global causes transcends our individual lifetimes. The Jewish value of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), has inspired generations of philanthropists to invest in the future they won’t be around to see.

The Jewish Community Foundation has opportunities for all planned gift sizes and ways to make your legacy a family tradition for philanthropy today and in the future. Begin your family’s legacy, today.
