*Of Blessed Memory

December 2020Each of our lives has a ripple effect on others. All of us leave a legacy.

We celebrate the many individuals and families who are part of the Jewish Community Foundation’s innovative Create a Jewish Legacy program. More than 1,300 have become Legacy Society Members, establishing legacy gifts to support Jewish life in perpetuity. These generous community members have committed almost $200 million in future planned gifts; more than $70 million has already been realized, through endowments funded during people’s lifetimes or, sadly, at their deaths. Many of these donors have planned gifts to multiple organizations.

This devotion and commitment to Jewish continuity is vibrant and active today, thanks to the pioneering spirit of Gail Littman (z”l) who together with the leadership and board of the Jewish Community Foundation, established Create a Jewish Legacy in San Diego in 2004.

This visionary program has been responsible for building a culture of legacy giving in San Diego. As a result of Create a Jewish Legacy, endowment dollars raised will guarantee that vital programs will flourish and that agencies, schools, and synagogues will be able to sustain themselves even through especially difficult times such as these we face today. The bequests established through Create a Jewish Legacy are inspiring examples of l’dor v’dor, the passing of values from one generation to the next. We gratefully acknowledge all the professionals and lay leaders who have dedicated their time to this effort.

As you will see in the following pages, where we honor and recognize our Legacy Society Members, the beauty of a Jewish legacy is that it’s yours to create. You can leave a bequest to any program or institution that is close to your heart. Chances are you already donate to these organizations.

The Jewish Community Foundation offers complimentary consultations for Legacy Planning with the utmost confidentiality. Please contact us or your favorite organization to get started today.

What will your legacy be?

The Jewish Community Foundation San Diego honors and celebrates our Book of Life contributors. Individuals and families who have planned a legacy gift, or who have contributed to an endowment for a Jewish organization, are encouraged to provide a personal statement to be included in the San Diego Community’s Book of Life.

These excerpts are from full statements that detail personal thoughts, life experiences, and philanthropic visions that have inspired legacy gifts.

C O M M U N I T Y- W I D E

Book of Life“Because of my mom, I’ve devoted a large part of my life to empowering other women and paying tribute to my Jewish roots. This is why my estate includes a gift to the Jewish Community Foundation and other Jewish organizations.”

“The best and most certain way to see that Tifereth Israel is financially sustained in the future, is through the Endowment Fund. It most certainly is the gift that keeps on giving and giving.”

“Participation in the Book of Life is a way to acknowledge the importance of community involvement. I deeply appreciate the numerous blessings we gain from our strong community.”

“It is my dream that the next generation of San Diegans will continue to keep alive our Jewish heritage and tradition of Tikkun Olam. Hopefully, my legacy gift will in a small way support their efforts to give back to this wonderful community.”

Interested in signing the Book of Life?

To be included, or for any otherquestions, please contact the

Jewish Community Foundation today.
