LEAVE A LEGACY Many of you are dedicated and long-standing members, volunteers and office holders who have contributed to the success of our congregation. It is in this spirit that we ask your consideration in helping make sure BHBE is thriving and relevant for the generations that follow.
In one way or another, our lives are rooted in Jewish experiences connecting us to the Jewish community. We already support Jewish charitable and community organizations in Chicago and elsewhere, but have we included these organizations in our will or Estate Plan. By leaving a Legacy, we can ensure that the traditions and institutions that mean so much to us today will be there for future generations.
We understand that everyone has a unique family and financial situation. Your legacy commitment can be designed to match your personal circumstances.
You can create a Jewish Legacy for BHBE in any of the following ways:
1. Make a gift through a bequest in a will, trust or estate plan.
2. Add (or change) a beneficiary designation on an IRA, pension fund, or life insurance policy. Your legacy commitment can be expressed as a specific dollar amount or as a percentage.
3. Give an outright cash gift to the endowment.
4. Increase your current income while making a gift through a Charitable Gift
Annuity or Charitable Remainder Trust.
More than ever now, BHBE needs to send a clear and credible message that it is well prepared to continue as a strong, viable community for future generations. Your support will help make that a reality.
To start the process, please review the accompanying Declaration of Intent.
