The Jewish Legacy Society was developed to honor and celebrate those who have made a public and everlasting commitment to the Jewish future. Joining the Jewish Legacy Society will bring you much pride and joy. By leaving a bequest to Chabad Okanagan Society you are insuring a strong and vibrant Jewish community for the next generation.
Of course, there are also many donors who wish to give anonymously and privately. No donor information is ever made public against the donors’ wishes. There are also special ways to recognize donors privately.
With deep respect and gratitude, we extend:
- A Jewish Legacy Award acknowledging your generous contribution.
- Recognition on our website and upcoming Jewish Legacy Pride Wall at our Centre.
- Discuss naming opportunities for your legacy gift.
- The nachas and joy of knowing that future generations will benefit from your kindness and your memory will be alive for generations to come.
The most lasting item — valued above all, is the personal satisfaction that comes with knowing that you and your loved ones have made a difference. You have lit the candle that will become an eternal flame for generations.
Your Moment. Your Legacy. Your Judaism. Your Chabad.
Please be sure to share with us your intentions to leave a legacy so we can appropriately thank you. To join the Jewish Legacy Society, please contact us.
WHY SHOULD I REMEMBER CHABAD IN MY WILL?
You care deeply about Jewish continuity and want to see Judaism flourish in your community. Chabad is serving our local community today and will continue to serve generations into the future.
I AM NOT A WEALTHY PERSON. CAN MY GIFT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Yes, every gift is important. Leaving a bequest to Chabad is your opportunity to take care of your family and create a meaningful Jewish legacy.
WHAT IS A BEQUEST?
A bequest is a gift of property or assets left to Chabad in your will. A bequest can be established as either a percentage of your estate or a fixed sum. Every bequest to Chabad is a powerful expression of faith and goodwill in the future of our Jewish community.
HOW CAN MY MONEY WORK FOR ME IN MY LIFETIME?
A charitable gift annuity is one of the most popular ways to help Chabad and receive income during your lifetime. For example, you can set up a gift annuity and receive a guaranteed payment far above market rates. The current rate for an 80 year old single life term is 6.8% percent.
HOW CAN LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT CHABAD?
You can make a substantial Jewish legacy gift to Chabad through designating Chabad as the named beneficiary of your existing life insurance policy. This gift can, in some circumstances, be far greater than anything you could donate during your lifetime.
WHAT IF I AM READY TO REMEMBER CHABAD IN MY ESTATE PLAN?
We would be honored to enroll you in the Jewish Legacy Society. Please take a moment and contact our center for a confidential consultation. Informing Chabad about your intentions allows us to plan appropriately for the future. Thank you in advance for this generous contribution.
