Ways to Give

What Jewish experiences do you most cherish?

                        The tase of apples and honey at Rosh Hashanah?

                                                                                           Your first trip to Israel?

                                                 Dancing the hora at a family bar mitzvah?

In one way or another, you've no doubt enjoyed the warmth, closeness, traditions and support of Jewish community throughout your life. Once you are gone, who will keep these traditions alive and thriving for future generations?

Creating your own Jewish legacy ensures that you will be remembered and that your work and your values will continue when you are no longer here. It also serves as an example to your loved ones that you believe it's important to support the Jewish community.                   

CREATE A JEWISH LEGACY

A legacy gift is your way to leave financial resources to Jewish organizations doing vitally important work. Your legacy can be structure to fit your lifestyle, goals, family and financial needs.

The act of creating a legacy empowers you to complete the work of your heart and enjoy the peace that it brings. The importance and impact of your legacy gift will be most clearly felt by the community once you are gone. However, you may experience tax advantages in your lifetime, and your estate and heirs may benefit from additional tax savings.

JFB has partnered with the Blue Grass Community Foundation whose philanthropic advisors can assist you in planning a legacy gift to the Jewish Federation that is consistent with your other estate plans. Jewish Federation of the Bluegrass has a long history of building Jewish community, supporting Israel and sustaining local programs and services.

To further discuss planning a legacy gift, please contact Executive Director, Judy B. Wortman at 859.268.0672 or jfb@jewishlexington.org.
