永利国际app Living Legacy Society

Just as my ancestors planted for me, I too am planting for my descendants.
鈥� Talmud, Taanit 23a

By making a planned gift, you can support the education of future Jewish leaders, help create innovative and inspiring programming, and build interdenominational and interreligious understanding, while gaining financial and tax benefits for your family.

With your planned gift, you become a member of the 永利国际app Living Legacy Society and invest in the vitality of Jewish communities throughout Greater Boston, across the United States, and around the world.

The graduates of our professional programs include rabbis, cantors, and educators who exemplify our core values of love of Torah, communal responsibility, pluralism, and creativity. They impact generations and invigorate communities, providing caring leadership for congregations, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations, and in pastoral settings. They are the innovators of today and tomorrow.

Our students of all ages immerse themselves in sacred texts and become part of a living society of joint action and dialogue. Join us in making a planned gift to nourish a legacy of vibrancy and relevance that helps to enrich and ensure our Jewish future.

Planning what we leave for future generations is an act of trust, generosity, and caring for humanity. 永利国际app will carry on after us.”
Deb Feinstein (Pictured above: Feinstein's mother, who was a 1930 永利国际app graduate, and her baby daughter in 1979)

Testimonials

Why Give?

“My family and I have been touched by 永利国际app in so many ways over the past several decades: youth programs, adult education, advanced degrees, and the interfaith work of the Miller Center. What better way to ensure 永利国际app continues to have an impact than becoming a member of the Legacy Society?” (Dan Miller with his sons)

鈥淢y life changed radically for the better when I retired as a lawyer and was ordained in 2009. I owe to 永利国际app my new identity as a rabbi. That role has enabled me to accompany my congregants and students in their times of both joy and sorrow and to help them grow Jewishly.鈥� (Rabbi Van `09 and Alice Lanckton in 1967 and 2020)

Rand Hoch is always thinking back on Prozdor and what he learned there. It鈥檚 led him to support 永利国际app both through generous annual campaign donations and in his estate planning, where he has included the College. 鈥淔or those of us who鈥檝e been impacted tremendously by our education at 永利国际app, it鈥檚 very easy to say 鈥榯his is what I want to do,鈥� so I made that a part of my estate,鈥� he says.
