Legacy Giving

Ensuring a Strong Jewish Future

Create Your Jewish Legacy

At Congregation B’nai Israel, our legacy is built on the generosity and vision of those who came before us. By making a legacy gift, you ensure that future generations will continue to find connection, belonging, and inspiration within our vibrant Jewish community.

A legacy gift is a meaningful way to express your values, support CBI’s mission, and make a lasting impact. Whether through a bequest, charitable trust, retirement assets, or life insurance, your gift helps sustain our synagogue, our programs, and our commitment to Jewish life for years to come.

  • Make an Impact Beyond Your Lifetime – Your generosity will strengthen CBI for years to come.
